Look I'm not the smartest person but I genuinely don't know what the answer is. Can you tell me what page of the back of the book it's on?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's on page 69420 huehuehue.

The answer is: she's either a puppet being paid to help conservatives win power by taking potential Democratic voters, or she genuinely wants to help conservatives win power by taking potential Democratic voters. There's no reality where she's progressive or "left" of anything short of fascism.

When every goddamn election is down to like 13 people in some swing state then every vote matters. An exaggeration of course but not by much...

Oh yeah I remember how the green party caused Florida to be just barely conservative in 2000 when the supreme Court blocked the recount.

It really sucks to see.

The supreme Court and Roger Stone stole the 2000 election in Florida. Al Gore had more votes once a proper recount was done. It was a completely stolen election blaming a third party is ridiculous

I got 2 downvotes so far but this is a sincere question

The answer is that Jill Stein is almost none of the things that people are accusing her to be in this thread. She didn't tell anyone to vote for Trump over democrats. She isn't Putin's puppet or a Russian spy just because she had dinner at the same table as Putin once. She never was anti-vax (i think she said people should be allowed the freedom to choose for themselves). She isn't a spoiler candidate and voting for her isn't a vote for trump.

All this shit is propaganda that's worked very well on democrats in the US.

Oh she's definitely a spoiler candidate, the question is whether she's doing so intentionally.
