The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal from Nevada’s Green Party seeking to include presidential candidate Jill Stein on the ballot in the battleground state.
The court’s order Friday, without any noted dissents, allows ballot preparation and printing to proceed in Nevada without Stein and other Green Party candidates included.
The outcome is a victory for Democrats who had challenged the Greens’ inclusion on the ballot in a state with a history of extremely close statewide races. In 2020, President Joe Biden outpaced former President Donald Trump by fewer than 35,000 votes in the state.
She seemed like a good alternative to Trump and Clinton at the time. But looking back I realize she was just put there by Putin to draw away lesser evil votes from Clinton so Trump could win. Another reason the Democratic Party fucked up by not allowing centrist or leftist candidates like Sanders even when they’d have a way better chance of winning by getting a lot of people to actually vote because they’d have a candidate they like rather than just voting against the other guy.
I really like Saunders, but big-C capitalists hate him because he actually works for the people. And that’s why he’ll never be POTUS or VP.
:/
Good. She can’t help Trump any more than she already has.
Jill Stein is unqualified to be president and generally has no idea what she is talking about.
while normally I’d be upset if they were running somebody with some kind of real intent to push real issues, its clear Stein is mostly isnt interested in pushing anything but conspiracy theories and russian appeasement.
But if we don’t vote 3rd party then democrats will never do the exact things I want, or some shit
Yes, that latter point does describe how well you have summarized other people’s arguments. Good luck to you on that one.
I’ll be voting solid blue regardless, but the “exact things I want” in regards to Democrats is not helping a genocide, because I thought that was a bar even they could pass.
I’m not surprised they failed even that, but it does radicalize me further and solidify my position that all liberals that call themselves leftists out of rampant ignorance can fuck off forever.
What “conspiracy theories”? Do you think that the genocide in Gaza is a conspiracy theory?
people forget about her vaccine skepticism, which is sad in a post covid world. There’s a reason she didnt run in 2020
Stein is pro-vaccine, as she has stated in numerous interviews. If she had won in 2016, we would’ve had a medical doctor in the White House during a pandemic, and hundreds of thousands of lives could’ve been saved.
Same time next Presidential election, Jill?
I mean she could use the time between to build local support for the Green Party in lots of places. I guess that isn’t what she’s after.
