So you love her, you can’t be stopped, and you have no reasons??? Not an interrogation, you stated an opinion, I asked, out of genuine curiosity, why? If you can’t or won’t justify your opinion then keep it to yourself rather than asking the people reading it to go elsewhere.
I’ve already heard the argument that national campaigns are how you gain national media publicity. So it’s the most cost effective way to raise the Green Party profile.
However you want to slice it, the current political system is very deliberately designed to keep people like Jill Stein quarantined and silenced. Insisting she’s the problem seems to miss the forest of disinformation and corporate propaganda for a very small pro-environmentalist tree.
They still routinely get blown out 80/20 on a good year because they have no media presence and nobody with a chance at winning wants to run under their brand.
If you can win as a Green, you’d just run as a Democrat in the same way that Libertarians who want to win just run as Republicans.
Just like the DSA does.
The D in DSA stands for Democrats.
They’re a caucus, not a party. And when they do win, they’ll often struggle to keep their elected officials loyal to the platform.
I have criticisms of the Republican party, too. But since I’m not willing to roll up my sleeves, join them, and change them from the inside, those criticisms are null and void in your eyes.
I love her and you can’t stop me
she isn’t in this picture.

I still love my ex-wife and you can’t stop me either (hell I tried very hard to stop and couldn’t).
Why? Cause I fell in love and it doesn’t have to make any fucking sense.
(Jill Stein, though…nah)
I didn’t come here to be interrogated. if all you have is anecdotes and insinuation, you can go back to .world

I don’t need to justify my opinion. I’m not Steven Crowder. if you can’t handle other people having opinions, delete your account.
Weird flex but ok

She’s mid.
Better than 90% of politicians from Massachusetts, but its a low bar.
She’s worse than that. She wastes her party’s limited resources on fruitless (counter productive even) presidential campaigns for personal clout.
If she was serious, and not a complete fraud, she’d be putting her effort into smaller campaigns all over the country to build the party up.
I’ve heard this argument before.

Yes, Jill Stein has no chance with the current system, exactly my point.
But in smaller, more local races, The Green Party could gain seats all over the country. Just like the DSA does.

you should join the green party and change their strategy.
The Green Party doesn’t interest me.
oh, so you don’t actually care.
For The Green Party, no, I’m not a fan. For the reasons I’ve outlined.
so there is no reason to think your advice is either genuine or helpful
