I’m tired of hearing about Shit Stein every 4 years

Why should she? Her party represents different interests to the Democratic party. In a fair and just democracy she should be allowed to run for office to represent that platform. If the Democrats have an issue with that, then they should adopt some of those policies. For instance, one of her policies is an anti-genocide policy. This might seem a bit radical and extreme but it's apparently very popular. If the Democratic party stopped being pro-genocide then there would be less threat from Stein.
People really need to stop acting like the Green Party just came about in the last decade to spite the Democrats. If the Democrats had a decent platform they'd stop losing votes to them.

it saddens me greatly that the question of genocide in this overton window is not whether or not genocide should exist; but instead the question is how much genocide is acceptable and the only incorrect answer is "zero".
it makes me sadder still that social media is dominated by manufactured consent so thoroughly that pointing something like "genocide is bad" only brands you a radical; a malcontent; too idealistically optimistic; or simply ignored.
It's because "the overton window" is liberal nonsense. Genocide has always been acceptable to the liberal ideological hegemony. It only ceases to be acceptable when it's an enemy that does it.
In a fair and just democracy
America is not a democracy
My point exactly
What even is her endgame?
To not have the kompromat that Putin is holding over her be released publicly?
This is an interesting take
I have no evidence to support it, besides her ties to the Kremlin that have already been widely reported on (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jill+stein+russia).
GREEN Party = Getting Republicans Elected Every November
My take:
To demonstrate that there is a more leftist population in the US public than is regularly recognized and shift the entire discussion in that direction.
To create a strong alternative to the major pro-corporate parties that is more in line with the rest of the liberal parties around the world.
To oppose the highly organized far right.
No, I won't vote for her this year. But I can appreciate the above goals.
To beat the duopoly
To draw votes away from the Democratic party nominee at the behest of her Russian donors. NBC News Link about the infamous dinner.
