Jill Stein Announces 2024 Presidential Run

Go fuck yourself Jill.

I always thought she'd make a better VP, particularly on the same ticket as Barney Frank.
Then I could vote for Frank And Stein.
- Or maybe Al Franken? Even the spelling is right!
- Frank and Stein: We’re not the monster
- Badum Ching!
  
  No, he'll end up being the Attorney General

Wish she just fuck entirely off instead.

It’s a transparently self-serving, irrational, and counterproductive decision to run again as a third party candidate. It just exposes her arrogance and lack of actual consideration for the health of the country. If she thought she could realistically win, then she should try to primary Biden on the Democratic ticket. Anything else is actively destructive. So disappointing.
- Did you miss the part where every other time she's run, she was funded by Republicans for the sole purpose of being a spoiler?
  
  Russian pawn jill stein?
- The mentality of people who just hate and drag anyone who identifies dem, in this day and age, drives me crazy. Because "democrat" is just not a political identity. The only core philosophy behind being a democrat is belief in evidence-based policy, fairness and justice at least some of the time, and that government should fundamentally be allowed to do the work of governance. Any political view that fits in that framework can make it under the tent.
  To be distinguished from the modern conservative wing, who think government should be butchered and sold off to the highest bidder, that fairness and justice are part of the woke mind virus, and evidence is conspiracy.
  
  That description could fit any political party. They all believe that their policies are "evidence based" and they're fighting for fairness and justice, and that "government should fundamentally be allowed to do the work of governance". The disagreements are over what qualifies as evidence, what fairness and justice is, and what "the work of governance" should be. For example, Republicans think that the role of government should be much smaller than the Green Party does.

I want to see someone hold her feet to the fire on her more pseudoscience remarks now that conspiracy theories like that have drifted firmly into the conservative camp. Namely:
Does she still believe there are reasons to be hesitant about vaccines? Is her response to "Do vaccines cause autism?" more than a two letter word?
Can she provide the scientific papers which show that "wifi causes cancer"?
Could she explain why she's against nuclear energy despite all of the information showing it to be safe? And if she would support new reactor designs that are inherently safer?
If she recants all of it, what's her explanation for previously saying those things? Was she just pandering? And if so, what does that say about her "support" for a Green New Deal?
As someone in STEM who works for a green energy company, she needs to adequately answer all of these questions if she wants to earn my vote. Until then, she can go fuck herself.
- She's a nut job.

Anyone have that picture of her with Putin and Michael Flynn?

  Context note: that picture was taken at an RT (Russian state-backed propaganda outlet) dinner in a room full of powerful Russian oligarchs. Gorbachev was there but at a different table, and yet Jill Stein was one of the guests of honor at Putin's table. Also worth keeping in mind that this dinner took place in 2015--more than a year after Putin had first invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.
  
  Nobody bashes Hillary for being a photo where she shook Putin's hand. Jill was simply at a table where Putin dropped in, said some stuff in Russian, and then left. She didn't even speak to him.
- it's decontextualized propaganda
- Ever hear of context?
  Per MSNBC
  
  …posts screenshot without context

Never forget the company Jill Stein keeps.
- Must have been taken before the Ukraine full scale invasion. The table isn't nearly long enough then for Putin.
- Should we ignore Schumer and Jeffries in the company of Hagee yesterday?

Imagine if she decided to run for mayor or state senator or even congress. She might actually have a chance. Instead, it's always president or nothing.
- Yep. That's one of the many things that highlights how fraudulent the Green Party is.
  They aren't interested in winning elections where they might be able to, or generally making real shifts in policy. They're only interested in splintering the most naive leftists away from the Democratic presidential candidate every 4 years. I only imagine the power players in that party collect a nice fat bag of cash and then sit back with their feet up until the start of the next presidential election cycle.
- It's not like the Green party has a shot at the presidency at all. If they wanted to make a difference they could caucus with Democrats and try to push them to the left.
  But no it's just about brand awareness for goofy pseudoscience bullshit. And of course making it more likely that Trump will win.
  
  Better yet, democrats could caucus with 3rd parties. That whole 'push them left' is bullshit that never happens. We heard that in 2020 and we ended up with another neolib that's condoning and funding ethnic cleansing.
  We've done it the liberal way for decades and that doesn't work.
- she has run in other elections and won, but it's inconvenient to this line of attack to acknowledge it
  
  In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts (pop 34k). Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2. She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.
  I don't find anything "inconvenient" about acknowledging both local elections she won. If anything, it bolsters their position. She should run for Mayor or perhaps state senate. The two elections she actually won demonstrate just how comically unqualified Jill Stein is for the presidency.
  
  She's won local elections, and you don't go from local to president. Until the Greens realize this and start building from the ground up in every state, they're nothing more than a joke.

She is the 1% ;)
- How much is she worth?
  
  Dunno, but she only ever manages 1% of the vote. ;)
  This site says she has a net worth of $37 million.

  https://smartasset.com/financial-advisor/are-you-in-the-top-1-percent
  "In order to be in the top 1% of household wealth in the U.S., you’d need to be worth at least $10,374,030.10, according to Forbes. To be in the top 1% globally, you’d need a minimum of around $936,430, according to the 2019 Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse."

She knows what she's doing. Obvious spoiler campaign.
- If you read the article, it's actually about the Green New Deal, which was the same issue she ran on in 2012 and 2016. You know, climate change. That issue that the Republicans don't think is real and the Democrats don't take seriously.
  
  Of course - and siphoning progressive voters from practical opposition to Trump is going to help the climate a great deal.
  
  Ah yes, 2016
  When she divided democratic votes.
  How did that go again?

Let her fight to the death with RFK Jr.

And the crowd goes mild.

🤮🤮

Whoop deedoo Basil, what does it all mean???
