Stein has arranged a lot of good climate protests. Never held office though, as far as I can find.
She got elected to a town council in Lexington Massachusetts. A whopping 539 votes. The only successful campaign she's run.
How you go from that and 5 other failed election bids straight to running for President is not something I know- oh wait, I do. If someone puts you up to it.
Depends on how you define success. She seems to do very financially well on running in national elections every four years.
Gonna need a source on that.
Because Its interesting her campaign doesn’t mention it
It's on her wikipedia page..
Probably doesn't talk about it because it's such a tiny irrelevant accomplishment to the position of President, that it means nothing.
I'd say the one elected a candidate has ever held is relevant....
but you're prolly right. (also because like "i'm a city council member I can run the country!" is such horrible sales pitch. She probably ran just to get rid of the goose egg on elections.)
Protest that accomplished what exactly? Oh yeah absolute fuckall lol.
