Can you explain why?
Sure.
When I say “practical role”, I’m referring to how Stein affects the results of this election.
There is a nearly 0% chance that Jill Stein is going to win the election, and a nearly 100% chance the winner will be either the Dem or GOP nominee. Given that she’s left of Kamala, who’s left of Trump, there are far more Stein voters who would’ve otherwise voted for Kamala than Stein voters who otherwise would’ve voted for Trump. So long as one or both of these voter groups are significantly large (which can mean as few as ~81,000 votes in the right states, since that’s the margin of victory Biden had in 2020), Stein would serve as a significant spoiler for Harris.
Consider the effect that Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential campaign had on the 2000 election.
It's literally 0. The entire country could vote unanimously for Stein and the electors could (and would) still just pick a winner from the two major parties.
Stein has been primarily campaigning on "Drop Kamala", bleeding democratic support away from Harris.
...Trick and? You cannot seriously expect the principled to support genocidal murderers.
