Jill Stein has aged like fine wine. Still on the right side about almost everything. But we do not hear any media talking about what she says anymore because the Blue MAGA narrative is that she appears out of thin air after four years and that must remain intact.
Nobody's talking about what she says because she has an incosequentially small audience and does nothing to build it up.
She should sell out to large donors so she can buy ads like the Democrats then you will like her.
But your favourite candidate also lost but it's not her fault according to you, it is everybody else fault. See how hypocritical you are?
Did you rehearse that shadowboxing routine in the shower?
What this has to do with anything?
Nice projection of your own argument.
"Projection of your own argument"?
What is that even supposed to mean...
You are complaining about people not voting for Newsom because Newsom is not popular but then pretend other people whine about their candidate being unpopular not being the candidates fault.
I am?
The fact that you specify a single candidate shows you still dont understand what it is youre voting against
Watch the video for context
Fr, funny how these alt-left mfers love democracy except when it turns out their candidate just doesn’t have the votes. If Jill Stein couldn’t win a majority of left voters via a primary, then how is she going to win a national election? And why can’t these alt-left parties ever start grassroots movements at the local level, instead they only care about presidential elections and just want to skip the endorsement without winning any primaries, and if they can’t do that then they take their ball and go home?
Because, like I said, they have no ambitions of political influence. Only virtue-signaling and purity-testing.
takeaway could be "the democrats would rather lose to fascists than oppose genocide and gain third party voters"
Which is the reason they (dnc) didn't release the post election findings. Of course their die hard supportors won't acknowledge or accept that
They just said they found proof and didn't actually wanna release it. I'm sure that means nothing.
Proof of what? Their failures in general or something else?
Because they clearly don't want to acknowledge anything they did wrong to fix it

The failures of their party. But it's not failure when they know better and actively choose not to, while shaming those who want it.
The DNC is controlled by the same capitalists as Republicans, they just pretend to be nicer.
I still find it hilarious they say they will reach out to constituents more when for 2024 they just ignored the feedback they didn't like
And any feedback was called unrealistic goals (to stop spending money in genocide and support policies that people like to hear).
You lost because of the economy and borders. Genocide supporter
You lost too. As well as everyone you thoughr you were helping.
I am tunisian I didn't lose anything. I do not share any responsability for maintaining the two party system for 160 years What is destroying Gaza is wespons sales , economic relstion and diplomatic cover which both Biden and Trump is doing and which Harris promised to israel

During genocide joe.
You're confusing them with logic. You're going to boil their brains. Please have mercy.
No need, just a few dinners with Putin, and suddenly she's flush
Hello, senator McCarthy.
Cool comment.
Doesn't make Jill Stein electable.
But it does for Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris magically.
Reminder that Jill Stein, the most popular 3rd party candidate, only got 0.5% of the total votes cast.
Proving there is no viable 3rd party in America and won't be for a long, long time.
Also proving thst Harris lost because of the issue of economy and borders not anti genocide people
If she's so unpopular, why do you care about her? She didn't affect any election according to you.
I love that "banned from the community" banner you're sporting. It makes every one of your comments into happy ones.
Ehh, Jill Stein really isn't that great. John Oliver has also made a bit on her. Howie Hawkins was a really great candidate though
Establishment jetster John Oliver did a bit on her? Well then let me discard all the facts and activism Jill Stein has partaken in.
Nah; that was just to show how easy it is to inform yourself before you spread nonsense like that
didn't one of her campaign runners say that Kamala winning the election would be worse than trump winning.... imo Jill Stein is a horrible candidate
here's the first article I found on Google. like if u think Kamala and Trump are equally bad you might be delusional. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jill-stein-sees-no-lesser-evil-between-harris-trump-interview-2024-10-07/
Kamala praised hitler Gaza surrender plan. She is more pro trump than anybody here
this is delusional speak. I don't like her gaza "plan" but compared to trump she is better in literally every aspect. (remember you are literally comparing her to a fascist)
She agreed with trump plan and her plan was to let israel destroy the rest of Gaza
JILL STEIN CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS.
JILL STEIN CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS.
JILL STEIN CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS.
Let me know how many more times I need to say this before it penetrates the 3 inch thick reinforced steel that is your skull.
JILL STEIN CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS.
JILL STEIN CAN'T WIN ELECTIONS.
Can you type it for Kamala Harris as well?
Nor can Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton, apparently.
Harris and Clinton did, right? That's why they're president?
