The campaign team for Stein and her running mate, Dr. Butch Ware, have said there is “no legal recourse” to fight the Nevada decision.
Well, I guess he was wrong then.
Why doesn’t Jill Stein spend the time between presidential elections working on her party and running people in local and state elections?
Because she only gets paid to spoil the presidential election, not disrupt local politics.
I think she legitimately believes that she, personally, is some sort of savior. I think all the Russia stuff is a case of not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Effectively, it’s the same result, but I tend to think folks are generally just dumb rather than evil.
They already got shut down because they filed incorrectly. Surprise surprise, their legal representation is Jay Sekulow. Yes, that Jay Sekulow who works singularly with right-wing nutjobs and Trump. Not suspicious at all.
Why are third parties so bad at accomplishing basic shit like getting on the ballot? Saw the same issues in Georgia.
Makes me real skeptical about them being competent enough to run the county. That’s for sure.
You should be asking why democrats are fighting so hard to keep these people out of elections.
You should be asking why republicans are trying so hard to get them IN the elections.
I know it improves their odds. But its by virtue of making elections more democratic. You let progressive parties in and then democrats lose, because democrats dont represent progressives. You want to ban progressive candidates, democrats should become more progressive to compete.
Your logic is flawed because we live in a two party system. Third parties in our current setup are only spoilers. We need to address the foundational issues FIRST and then we can get more than even 3 parties in. Otherwise you’re going to get republicans fixing the system so they never leave power and then we’re all fucked forever with no chance of improvement.
We need to address the foundational issues FIRST
Thats what Im doing, youre vehemently opposing that change
You clearly don’t understand the meaning of first. And this is why progressives and the Green Party never make any headway. You think you’re working in a system that’s fair and will work if you just try hard enough. Except you only end up fighting the people most loosely aligned to yall and you end up letting the country move further and further to the right.
That’s the wrong conclusion. If two Democrats were on the ballot, they would likely still both lose because of first past the post voting. If you really want to support “making elections more democratic” push for ranked choice voting, or proportional representation.
What a surprise, guess who supports ranked choice voting? The green party! Yet another reason democrats fight so hard to keep them from competing
Because the Green Party under Jill Stein exists ONLY to be a spoiler for Democrats.
She has no actual intentions of getting elected, her only goal is to profit from appearing to do so while getting enough attention to fan her enormous ego.
You make it sound like its her decision whether or not she gets elected
She’s the candidate running isn’t she?
Yeah, thats the decision she gets to make, to run. Not whether or not she gets elected. She hasnt won and somehow that means she has no intention to.
Yea so what are you even saying in your previous comment? I don’t even get why you’re trying to push an obviously gop backed candidate.
lol now instead of being some viking motherfucker you’re suddenly assuming a black identity.
