I always thought she'd make a better VP, particularly on the same ticket as Barney Frank.
Then I could vote for Frank And Stein.
Or maybe Al Franken? Even the spelling is right!
Badum Ching!
No, he'll end up being the Attorney General
Wish she just fuck entirely off instead.
Anyone have that picture of her with Putin and Michael Flynn?
it's decontextualized propaganda
Ever hear of context?
…posts screenshot without context
*Per MSNBC wasn't context for you? You basically believe a bullshit narrative, because nobody wants to support your piece of shit neoliberal candidates that are waging genocide and ethnic cleansing but sure VBNMW.
It’s a transparently self-serving, irrational, and counterproductive decision to run again as a third party candidate. It just exposes her arrogance and lack of actual consideration for the health of the country. If she thought she could realistically win, then she should try to primary Biden on the Democratic ticket. Anything else is actively destructive. So disappointing.
Did you miss the part where every other time she's run, she was funded by Republicans for the sole purpose of being a spoiler?
Russian pawn jill stein?
I want to see someone hold her feet to the fire on her more pseudoscience remarks now that conspiracy theories like that have drifted firmly into the conservative camp. Namely:
-
Does she still believe there are reasons to be hesitant about vaccines? Is her response to "Do vaccines cause autism?" more than a two letter word?
-
Can she provide the scientific papers which show that "wifi causes cancer"?
-
Could she explain why she's against nuclear energy despite all of the information showing it to be safe? And if she would support new reactor designs that are inherently safer?
-
If she recants all of it, what's her explanation for previously saying those things? Was she just pandering? And if so, what does that say about her "support" for a Green New Deal?
As someone in STEM who works for a green energy company, she needs to adequately answer all of these questions if she wants to earn my vote. Until then, she can go fuck herself.
She's a nut job.
Never forget the company Jill Stein keeps.
Must have been taken before the Ukraine full scale invasion. The table isn't nearly long enough then for Putin.
Should we ignore Schumer and Jeffries in the company of Hagee yesterday?
Imagine if she decided to run for mayor or state senator or even congress. She might actually have a chance. Instead, it's always president or nothing.
It's not like the Green party has a shot at the presidency at all. If they wanted to make a difference they could caucus with Democrats and try to push them to the left.
But no it's just about brand awareness for goofy pseudoscience bullshit. And of course making it more likely that Trump will win.
Better yet, democrats could caucus with 3rd parties. That whole 'push them left' is bullshit that never happens. We heard that in 2020 and we ended up with another neolib that's condoning and funding ethnic cleansing.
We've done it the liberal way for decades and that doesn't work.
The party has moved demonstrably left in even the last decade.
And it does caucus with non Democrats. You've got Bernie and Angus King. There's a socialist in Virginia too. I think Sinema actually started out that way too, as a Green. Clearly, if a third party candidate can win in the primaries, Democrats are fine supporting them, or at least not running a spoiler.
The key part is winning a primary. If they can't get the majority of Democrat voters, they aren't going to come close to winning a general.
she has run in other elections and won, but it's inconvenient to this line of attack to acknowledge it
In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts (pop 34k). Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2. She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.
I don't find anything "inconvenient" about acknowledging both local elections she won. If anything, it bolsters their position. She should run for Mayor or perhaps state senate. The two elections she actually won demonstrate just how comically unqualified Jill Stein is for the presidency.
She's won local elections, and you don't go from local to president. Until the Greens realize this and start building from the ground up in every state, they're nothing more than a joke.
She is the 1% ;)
How much is she worth?
Dunno, but she only ever manages 1% of the vote. ;)
This site says she has a net worth of $37 million.

"In order to be in the top 1% of household wealth in the U.S., you’d need to be worth at least $10,374,030.10, according to Forbes. To be in the top 1% globally, you’d need a minimum of around $936,430, according to the 2019 Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse."

Whoop deedoo Basil, what does it all mean???
