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. ̶…
Do you realize 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.
So why are you mad at Jill Stein when her absence wouldn’t have changed the outcome at all?
What I do care about is the Green Party under her leadership ineffectually doing anything anywhere. There are candidates from a larger variety of political parties active in state politics than ever before in my lifetime. Communists, socialists, democratic socialists, libertarians, constitutionalists, independents, etc etc etc.
But the Green Party seems to enjoy spending all their money, time, and effort to do literally nothing outside of putting Jill’s name on the national ballot once every 4 years.
If the Green Party truly stands for what they claim to, they should be trying to affect grassroots change every year.
Well they have run in local elections and there are quite a few Green Party officials out there. But they should def by trying for more congress roles too.
Well, in the end it didn’t matter. Harris lost by such a large margin, none of the votes that went to Jill Stein would have mattered anyway.
I mean, you guys lost the freakin’ popular vote to Trump!
The majority of the United States didn’t agree with you or your candidate. And they showed you just how much they didn’t like you guys by voting.
Trump won the election, and the popular vote; the Republicans won the Senate AND the House.
You and other democrats need to change your methods and your attitudes.
Your bullying didn’t change my mind, or the minds of all the voters who voted for Trump. Remember when you all accused me of being a bot? And accused me of being Russian. And said I’d disappear after election day? Or that I was a team of people posting “propaganda”?
None of it was true, and it was just bullying, and you guys trying to quiet any dissenting voices.
That’s why you lost, friend.
And I’m still here, having the best time of my life.

Oh to be clear I don’t care about her. At all.
