A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris’ lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein’s candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.
Doesn’t make you putting words in their mouth any less dishonest. Or are you of a mind that people can say and do anything if they think the ends justify it?
Subtext exists, logical results of decisions exist. If neither party are going to do the thing you suggest, and you don’t want someone to vote third party, the only thing left is not voting.
Or you acknowledge more than one issue exists and the way issues are handled isn’t binary. One can be “better” on some issues or “not as worse” on others that also impact you.
