We need to use our momentum from getting out the vote for Jill Stein's antiwar pro-worker campaign to fight the rich and their two parties. To end the wars and the genocide in Gaza. To fight against racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression. To organize protests and strike actions to win a $25/hour minimum wage, Medicare for All, quality affordable housing, and good union jobs for all.
Both Democrats and Republicans are a dead end for workers, the union movement, and the antiwar struggle. We urgently need a new, independent, antiwar, working-class party that can take on the billionaires & warmongers and BREAK the two-party system.

That seems to be the only retort spewed against Jill Stein.
The Russiaphobia and Russiagate smears continue as expected from the status quo.

It's the easiest retort, but no, Stein is loathsome for many more reasons.
I'll consider the Green Party again once they DX Stein, although they're going to have to purge a lot of their current Stein-supporting leadership to right their ship.
And I'll stop hating on Russia once they get their bitch asses out of Ukraine and release their occupation of Crimea, pay reparations for the illegal invasions, and withdraws from occupying Georgia. Putin also needs to be tried in international court of the criminal invasion of Chechnya; a death sentance would be appropriate for that one, as it was predicated on a false flag in which he killed a bunch of Russian citizens to foment.
Petty little dictator; the only thing more pathetic is our cheap, knock-off, wanna-be copy cat puppet.
Interesting.
It seems the Russia Smears are the main reason for your disdain towards Jill Stein.
I don't agree with your views, but thanks for sharing them.

My distain for Jill stems from her complicity in being a spoiler pawn, and mostly spouting nonsense. Nearly all of her attack rhetoric was aimed at the Democratic party; she said relatively little and the Republicans and consistently went after Democrats, just like a good asset would. Her messaging was overwhelmingly negative, and she associated with all of the worst people. I haven't seen her do anything productive or positive. The fact that her campaign received significant funding from Russian-backed organizations is incidental; it only explains what she really stands for. I'm opposed to all external financial influence in US politics, whether Russian or AIPAC.
