It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    Why is she a stooge? You don’t like democracy or you scared Kamala supporting war criminals might mean Stein has more of an impact than you’d like to admit?

      She is funded by republicans and has no experience in government whatsoever. She is utterly unqualified for running the most powerful country on earth. She literally only exists to take votes from democrats.

        Now, now… She did win a seat in the Lexington town meeting in 2005. :)

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein

        "2005 Lexington Town Meeting

        In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts. Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2.[156] She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.[157] Stein resigned during her second term to again run for governor.[158]"

        Republicans fund Democrat candidates all the time if they think it will help them. It doesn’t mean she is a Republican or has Republican policies. Russians funded Bernie in 2016.

        Every other candidate exists to take votes from another candidate. She is against funding genocide in Israel.

        People crave a non-establishment politician. So this whole, she isn’t the “establishment” thing you got going on doesn’t help your case at all. Are you saying she doesn’t have experience on being a corporate puppet like establishment politicians do? And that is a bad thing why?

          I’m not talking about republican-leaning citizens, I’m talking about the literal Republican Party funding Stein. Trump’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow has represented Stein in various court cases around this election.

          So this whole, she isn’t the “establishment” thing

          nice straw man.

          Are you saying she doesn’t have experience on being a corporate puppet like establishment politicians do? And that is a bad thing why?

          I’m saying she literally has no experience with how government works, in any aspect. She’s a physician. She has no law degree, no experience in legislation at any level, no experience in administration at any level. No foreign policy experience at all (except dining with Putin). I’d sooner vote for AOC to be president than Jill Stein.

            Lawyers defend a variety of people… I’m not sure if you knew that or just thought that there are only Democrat attorneys and Republican attorneys. I guess that may come as a surprise to you.

            Joe Biden being Weekend at Bernie’s around like Feinstein by Democrats while telling us he’s sharper than he’s ever been shows that Democrats primary experience is lying to the public.

            Jill Stein graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. She studied psychology, sociology and anthropology. To pretend she is inexperienced is laughable. She’s highly educated and has shown conviction in her beliefs unlike Kamala who changes whenever her donors tell her to.

            Kamala is running around praising Dick Cheney thinking it’ll help her election chances and continues to immediately defend genocide everytime she’s asked.

            People want sincerity & honesty more than anything else, and a populist candidate. You know, popular ideas like turning off the money tap to Israel.

            People are tired of being lied to and they are tired of being attacked for not being content with the same old playbook from 2016 & 2020. Each time the establishment Democrat candidates look more and more like corporate neocons.
