I was a Green Party supporter until Jill Stein kinda took over and I began learning how hypocritical she is. That was 10+ years ago

How the hell can the presidential candidate of the Green Party own a MILLION DOLLARS OF OIL AND GAS SHARES? How can you complain about Israel murdering children in Gaza, when you own shares in Raytheon, which sells and produces weapons for and in Israel?

Where are you seeing this?

The article claims that she has total stock market index funds in her retirement account and not individual oil and gas shares…

They even link the full financial disclosure that reveals as much: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/un8w34x8anzochjjik2dw/2024-Stein-PFD.pdf?rlkey=no0vsygaof1096tgm3843kwup&st=10vwoc8x&dl=0

This is literally insulting to anyone with any understanding of “investments”:

In January 2024, Stein reported having between $250,001 and $500,000 invested in the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VXUS), which invests in TC Energy Corp, owner of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Stein profits from the Keystone XL Pipeline she claims to oppose.

This is a super sketchy way to portray a very normal total market index funds…

Appears cross posted from Reddit where you'll see tons more anti-green propaganda: https://www.reddit.com/r/climate/comments/1gimm7x/im_an_environmentalist_thats_why_i_cant_vote_green/

Good.

The green party is not a party for good. Jill Stein has no intention of trying to further the supposed goals of the green party.

Their intention - admitted to, on microphone, at an event, by their own people - is purely to give trump the presidency.

The green party is dogshit.

Weeks ago.

A quote from Sawant at the Stein rally:

We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.

Here is the actual Abandon Harris rally if people want to watch it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKSm2FQ8z60

To borrow the words of Michael Moore:

"They're [arabs] in horrible grief right now. And they're saddled with this awful predicament. And their conscious is not allowing them to put an 'X' next to the woman who has killed their family."
"Boy it takes a lot nerve for white people to say that they know better 'they don't understand that Trump's going to be a lot worse for the Arab Americans'... Shut the fuck up."
"These are people that have lost relatives. These are people that have lost members of their community. They've been killed by me. Not just Netanyahu. Our tax dollars pay for every god damn bullet and bomb. Every carpet bombing of Gaza you've funded it. I've funded it."

This was a Jill Stein rally
This speech was to intro Stein
This speech would have been reviewed, just like a certain comedian at MSG.
Stein agrees with and supports the speech tacitly

You're just apologizing for the Green Party while being OK with them working to get Trump in, who will literally ramp up the genocide.

Pure garbage.

So not Stein. I think your comment is worded somewhat misleadingly but alright.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Not what I said.

I said by their own people on microphone at their own event. I think maybe you misread, its not at all misleading.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It appears the group Abandon Harris has said these things, not the Green Party. Am I not understanding something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

She was the opener for Green at her MI rally.

She is part of it, at a Green event. Her being the founder of her own party that had a short stint as a city council member does not change who she was there for, both party and candidate.
