A further note on Jill Stein: Stein is a pro-Putin hack known for running a spoiler campaign in 2016, hanging out in Russia with the aforementioned Putin and American traitor Michael Flynn, but nothing else as far as I can tell.
There was little appreciable difference between Stein’s platform and the Democrats’ in 2016; she had no chance of winning; and the only candidate whose chances she was going to hurt was Hillary Clinton. That was precisely the point.
Yesterday, to the relief of absolutely no one (except Putin and every single Republican), Stein announced she’s running again. It remains the case that the only candidate she’ll harm is the Democratic one. Our system is such that anybody can run; my question is, why should anybody take this vile person seriously? I say this not simply because of the enormous damage she did eight years ago, but also because in those intervening years, she has done nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING,to create a strong, viable alternative to the two-party system or to build the Green Party. She’s a fraud whose only purpose seems to be lining her own pockets in the service of undermining the only party that has a shot at saving American democracy. “
