          That’s not how it works. Either Biden or Trump will win. Anything else, you might as well not vote.

            you are literally allowed to choose anyone on the ballot. you’re spreading election misinformation

              You’re allowed to not vote, which is what voting 3rd party is.

                  You saying that doesn’t make it any more true.

                  Gotta come up with something better or Putin will stop paying you

            there are reasons to vote besides choosing the winner, like getting another party over the 5% threshold.

              That hasn’t meant anything in the past. It’s happened before, and nothing changed regarding their viability.

      Stein thinks the US forced Russia into invading Ukraine and doesn’t support US aid or involvement for Ukrainians. Hardly unexpected, since she’s dined with Russian oligarchs at anniversary dinners for RT.

      As far as I’m concerned, she’s Genocide Jill. I don’t recall her criticizing RT when someone on there suggested drowning Ukrainian children.

      What are West’s positions on Ukraine?

        i’ve heard him say similar things to jill, but also that the shooting needs to stop.

        she never said that. she has said it was an illegal invasion, though.

        this contains both misinformation and innuendo. she went to one dinner, and she paid her own way. RT was one of the few outlets that would give her air time during her 2012 presidential bid, which is more of a commentary on the corporate media and political parties than on anything she’s ever done.

      Jill Stein, yes, Cornell West? I wouldn’t bet on it. He’s 2 for 50 so far… I guess if you live in Alaska or Oregon, you’re in luck.

      He’s going to wish he stayed the Green candidate.

      Either way, they’ll pull a tiny segment of the vote and won’t win a single state, just like always.

        jill says they’re on track to hit 5% this november. that’s something worth voting for.

          Hey, there’s a first time for anything…

          2020:
          Libertarian - 1.18%
          Green - 0.26% (Howie Hawkins)

          2016:
          Libertarian - 3.28%
          Green - 1.07% (Jill Stein)

          2012:
          Libertarian - 0.99%
          Green - 0.36% (Jill Stein)

          2008:
          Ralph Nader - 0.56%
          Libertarian - 0.40%
          Constitution - 0.15%
          Green - 0.12% (Cynthia McKinney)

          2004:
          Ralph Nader - 0.38%
          Libertarian - 0.32%
          Constitution - 0.12%
          Green - 0.10% (David Cobb)

          2000:
          Green - 2.74% (Ralph Nader)
          Reform - 0.43% (Pat Buchanen)
          Libertarian - 0.36%
          Constitution - 0.09%
          Natural Law - 0.08%

          In order to hit 5%, she would have to do twice as well as Nader did in 2000.

          That is never going to happen.

            are you suggesting a politician would get in front of a camera and just lie??

              She’s probably hopeful, delusionally so, but hopeful.

              Nobody running for President is going to come out and just admit “Ok, yeah, I have trouble breaking 1%… but THIS TIME…”
