Community for those against and for Jill Stein!
Jill Stein is running for president to offer people a choice outside the failed two-party system. Let's put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November 2024.

Corporate media just lies and lies and lies…
@DrJillStein currently is on enough ballots to potentially win 279 electoral college votes
Yet Salon says neither she nor Kennedy have a pathway to 270

Imagine she wins. Now what? In case you haven't noticed, being president only gets you so far in Washington.
True, but it would be a great win for someone outside of the duopoly to win.
It would be a major event around the world, a first in our generation that a non status quo party is elected.
Here is her platform, for what she plans to do when elected:

I've voted Stein before when it was absolutely safe to do so in a blue enclave, but only as a protest vote - which is absolutely what's for sale here.
Look at what she does, not what she says. If you were building the Green Party to be viable for leadership, you'd work on getting your people elected locally, building firmer footing with your funding and campaign offices across the country so you could run ads, mount larger campaigns, set policy, and build the apparatus to actually rule by getting House and Senate seats. Then you'd campaign very credibly for the white house.
Instead she runs every year straight for the white house with little funding, no real political machinery, and a great feel-good message. Why? Once she had a toehold in the house and senate with a growing team of elected people, she'd actually be calling shots and building coalitions.
Is that what she wants? Or does she just want to run for president every time and never get there? Because that's all I see her doing.
