What's with the focus on Jill Stein? Third parties aren't relevant and the number of people who vote for them is far overshadowed by the number of people who don't vote at all. There are better uses of time than this lame two minutes hate session.
Russian shills + USA republicans began pushing propaganda for her in a big way after they couldn't find a decent angle to effectively attack Harris like they did with Biden. Leave that propaganda unchecked and she will divert more than a few votes because propaganda works, so fortunately there is a lot of pushback in the other way.
Because this is the time of year that Stein starts pushing herself as a candidate after doing nothing for 4 years, and this is an incredibly close presidential race where voting third party is dangerous. Stein herself is also extremely questionable as a candidate so of course people are going to talk about it. There is a vocal minority of Lemmings who are pushing Stein and other third parties very hard, so I can completely understand why others are pushing back with threads like this one.
Since Democrats are so corrupt they refuse to abolish the antidemocratic electoral college and have already lost two elections they had the majority of votes in.
Harris, while popular, is in a dead heat in several swing states with Trump and it's very likely she'll lose. Liberals think that having third party candidates takes away votes from Harris even through all evidence points to the contrary.
FTFY.
FTFY
The Democrats would love to do away with the EC because it would swing the power wildly in their favor. The problem is that they can't unilaterally do it because it would require a constitutional amendment that would require Republican controlled states to vote against their own power.
It's dead in the water which is why it's never heavily pursued...and you're blaming this on democrat corruption? What a wildly delusional take.
She's a release valve for the Arab-American protest vote. Arab-Americans are concentrated in the Midwest. Kamala desperately needs the Midwest wall to hold in order to win the White House.
"Jill Stein is a Russian Plant" is going to become "Arab Americans stabbed America in the back" in a few months, particularly if Harris loses. We're just seeing the prelude to the anti-Muslim hysteria boiling up in the Democratic Party.
DNC messaging push (https://front.moveon.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/MoveOnThirdWay3rdPartiesMemoJune24.pdf).
I'm hoping for their sake OP is getting paid for this.
She makes Harris look bad.
