Jill Stein Is Killing the Green Party
newrepublic.com

"How has Stein fared as a leader? By AOC’s perfectly reasonable standard, she’s done abysmally. As of July 2024, a mere 143 officeholders in the United States are affiliated with the Green Party. None of them are in statewide or federal offices. In fact, no Green Party candidate has ever won federal office. And Stein’s reign has been a period of indisputable decline, during which time the party’s membership—which peaked in 2004 at 319,000 registered members—has fallen to 234,000 today.

This meager coalition can’t possibly kick-start a legitimate political movement, capable of organizing voters and advancing ideas outside of perennial electoral events. It’s just large enough, however, to spoil the work of those who put in this kind of work."

Goals are useless if you're not actually trying to achieve them.

She's trying to achieve goals in the face of you, and democrats, and the democrats massive legal team, and the democrats massive amounts of money and wealthy members, all doing everything they can to fight against those goals.

Tired of this impossible standard that candidates that you are actively opposing succeeding need to succeed for your approval.

22 years and hasn't done anything.

Actually, I'm incorrect. She became useful to Putin. So, she's got that going for her.

And youll make sure they never do anything. Never cut back on military spending, or stop climate change acceleration, or raise minimum wage, or stop genocides, or empower unions, or fix healthcare

Don't you have another Jill Stein post to clown in?
