    When your party is just a front for Russian election interference then the details don’t matter

    Stein could’ve done what AOC or Sanders has done in actually influencing policy and reshaping the Democratic party with hard work from the inside, but no, she is simply a willing pawn of Putin and the GOP.

    Just another Gabbard or Sinema.

      I mean at least Gabbard and Sinema ran for and won offices at a serious level (obviously still incredibly awful people). Stein literally only served 5 years in a “representative town meeting” (basically a municipal legislature) for a town of ~30k people.

      Lauren Boebert looks like a goddamn elder statesman next to Jill Stein in terms of experience.

      No. She literally can’t. You can either be Pure or you can have power. But not both. They hate what AOC has become with a passion. Because she is not pure anymore. Just actually making a difference. For them it is strictly about virtue signaling. And not accomplishing anything. Because doing things is hard. Just saying the things that people want to hear. That shit is as easy as it gets.

      If there were an election with Jill Stein running against Ed Balls I would be handing out so many spherical foods.
