Stein said Wednesday that shes serving as the interim coordinator for the West campaign, a catch-all role that encompasses fundraising, communications and campaign management until West can build a more traditional campaign.
Steins role will likely rekindle the debate in liberal circles over whether third-party campaigns like Wests could divide the Democratic vote and make more likely the election of former President Donald Trump in 2024, assuming that he becomes the Republican nominee....
Her involvement also signals that West will make a credible bid for the Green Party nomination, after initially filing in the Peoples Party, a move that would ease his access to many state ballots and provide him with a party organization with a history of fighting access battles.

(10,943 posts)... hopefully the Republicans will run a third party candidate, too. Jill Stein should retire and enjoy her money.

(4,728 posts)3 out of 4 small party votes went to the Libertarians instead of Trump in 2016.
Stein was the only one to challenge Trump's vote count in critical states, to the tune of a $1M.
There were far greater factors than the Greens to Trump's electoral win. Like Cambridge Analytica plus Facebook using illegally-harvested user data to micro-target ads. And Comey.
Fighting cheating and dirty tricks is harder than blaming scapegoats.

(71,549 posts)for Hillary's loss, the demise of Roe, and all the other bad shit Trump inflicted upon us...almost lost our Republic on January 6th thanks to her. She is at it again. The only word for both Jill Stein and Cornell West is despicable. They are not progressive and are nothing but trash. They are trying to help Trump win...make no mistake about it.

(71,549 posts)in swing states to help Trump win the electoral college...these were essential rust-belt states. Stein knew exactly what she was doing, and I don't doubt she was helped and funded by her Russian buddies. She deliberately took money from the Russians and helped elect Trump. The fact that West has anything to do with her shows who he is as well...and neither of them is progressive.

(90,290 posts)It also shows how our side is NOT there yet.
And we need to be!
Democrats need to - indeed MUST - start thinking more deviously when up against headwinds like this.
MUST.
HAVE TO, HAVE TO, NEED TO.

Now THERE'S a meme that should be said, read, and SPREAD.
And I just had another idea: How 'bout - instead of the "Freedom Caucus", make it the "Take AWAY Your Freedom Caucus". Maybe that's how we should start calling them. Because they seriously need some remedial truth-in-labeling. And it's a point that needs to be made LOUDLY and REPEATEDLY. OVER and OVER and OVER, and then OVER some MORE.

(71,549 posts)Stein takes money from the Russians and West takes money from DeSantis's shitty education company...sellouts both of them. 'A pox on both their houses.'
