I so wish there was a green Party candidate I could vote for where I live. There isn’t though not in the whole County. We could dearly use a few considering big businesses dumping in the river near where I live and have been doing so for decades and the idea of a very dangerous desalinization plant with regards to where the runoff is going to be dumped. Unfortunately these actual environmental issues are not a priority to Jill Stein and the Green Party. Actually helping the environment and green issues aren’t a priority to Jill Stein. That’s why she infuriates me so much. She’s doing this to enrich herself and distract from actual governing. She’s doing this to delegitimize the green movement. And as this article also suggests she’s doing it for another reason as well.
The green party candidate that was voted in for my city was awesome. Super great guy. It would definitely be cooler if he wasn’t the exception.
I actually like Jill Stein though! I’m not voting for her, but I like her.
I liked her until she came out pandering to antivaxxers.
Meh, if that’s her personal belief, I don’t care. I’m not antivax, but people are free to have their own opinions. Doesn’t bother me.
Vaccination is herd-immunity. It SHOULD bother you if people are antivaxx. It’s what keeps our children from dying of easily-preventable diseases!
Doesn’t bother me at all. Can’t change those people, arguing with them doesn’t do anything. And I’m against forcing anything on anyone. And here we are. We lived. And it’ll be the same way next pandemic.
Always gonna have morons, but forcing them to get anything or forcing them to silence their views is, in my view, much worse than them not getting the vaccine.
I think I’m going to have to agree to disagree, respectfully.
Yeah, but hey, it’s ok that we have different views, and I respect that way you have had the discussion. Thank you!
Oh well that’s all it takes then right? I mean it wouldn’t take running people in local communities and protecting local waterways in actuality would it? Do you even read my comment? How did you miss the point this badly?
I’m guessing if you haven’t even bothered to read their website, you haven’t bothered to research what party members are at the local and state levels.
I love your username.
I figure once in a while there maybe should be a post in this community with a positive karma.

Greens are really just flying cover for Dems being a pro genocide party. If Dems lose in Nov, they can blame the microscopic green party instead of their own shitty and deeply unpopular policy.
Democrats: It’s always someone else’s fault we couldn’t do better.
Right?!
You know as well as I do that election math is just as hard to understand as toilet paper math. Election math says the 3% that voted for third party candidates is always the cause of them losing the election and never the 15+% that defected or refused to continue voting for them.
I mean, heaven forbid we ask the party to adopt positions more inline with a majority of the parties likely voters…
Meanwhile, the candidate is still focused on offering right wingers an olive branch, as if courting the legitimate cult that gave us Cheeto Mussolini is really going to produce measurable differences electorally.
You can put aside the deep ethical issue of being a pro-genocide party for just a moment(which is absurd) and it’s still clear that better electoral strategy is to shift on Gaza and go get the 3-5% of likely Democrat who are going to say “not good enough”.
