Jill Stein is not a serious politician.
Unfortunately she is not wrong on this.
More serious than the D's and the R's.
As categorically shitty as our two main political parties are, I think she’s even less serious than they are. The only times she’s ever relevant, or pushes anything with any visibility, is around presidential election campaigns, when she simply serves as a spoiler candidate, and that’s it.
Don’t get me wrong - I appreciate and support ecologically-oriented policies and candidates. I just happen to think Stein is an absolutely awful - and again, unserious - standard bearer for that cause.
You simply ignore her whenever it's not time to use her as a convenient scapegoat. She's still very politically active and much more on the right side than grifters like AOC
Ah, there we go. And that’s how I know not to take your commentary on this matter seriously.
Keep trying to explain how sending missiles to Israel during a genocide is actually a good thing
None of that are things I have ever said or supported. You need to stop.
You have by your selective outrage.
