“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”
She can say her policies are whatever gets votes. She has no chance of winning and having a chance to implement them.
If you know you won’t ever have to follow through, there’s no punishment for promising anything.
Yes, you’ve paraphrased what I said expertly.
