Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein argued that Democrats “betrayed their base” and that the leaders of the party need to step aside to “allow a proper opposition” to fill in.  ̶…

      Well, she does have a point. I mean, it’s why the dems lost the election. Hopefully everyone learns from this.

              And you don’t think she can affect actual change? so who can? Harris? Because, um…

                  So Jill Stein’s opinions don’t matter because she’s not vice president?

                  Well, she attended Harvard Medical School and practiced medicine in the Boston area for 25 years and also served as an instructor in internal medicine at Harvard Medical School. And she’s been a political activist since 1988.

                  She’s been in running for office since 2011.

                  Even tho you don’t like and she hasn’t won, I think she’s been in the trenches long enough, and is educated enough to have an opinion on what happened.

                  The fact of the matter is, you don’t like her. And you don’t like her because during this election, you were told by everyone on Lemmy that she was a spoiler and a russian agent.

                  None of it was true. And even tho the margin of victory for Trump was so great, that none of the votes cast for her would have benefited Harris anyway, you’re still mad and upset that Trump won.

                  The Republicans won the white house, the senate, and the house of reps. Clean sweep.

                  Jill Stein didn’t cause any of that. Her not being in the election wouldn’t have prevented any of that.

                  Also, obviously the news orgs think differently about the value of her opinion, because they publish it.

                  But hey, you, a guy on Lemmy, doesn’t think she’s important. Ok! Cool. You are totally free to think that. But plenty of people disagree with you. Just like a LOT of people disagreed with you on who should be president.

        No she doesn’t.

        If she did, she could have used it to campaign on, but sadly nobody mentioned Jill Stein until a month before voting started 🤷

        Jill Stein betrayed Jill Stein by applying for a position she isn’t capable of handling.

          Yeah, and remember how mad you all were when she came out and campaigned?

          What’s really interesting is that even if every person who voted for Jill Stein or any other third-party candidate had voted for Harris instead, Harris still would have lost.

          The margin was big enough that, even without third-party candidates, Trump would have still won the popular vote.

          Looks like all the trash talk about everyone who supported her or other third parties didn’t pay off, did it? Instead of trying to connect with them and win them over, you pushed them away. You guys def made sure I would never vote democrat ever again.

          I like Jill Stein, even tho I didn’t vote for her. :)
