Hi Jill, what are you doing to help get ranked choice voting standardized across all the states?
I agree that we need to standardize ranked-choice voting to honor the decisions of all Americans. As President, I would...

So nothing the answer to that question is nothing you are doing absolutely nothing. If Jill Stein didnt disappear for 3 out of every 4 years people might respect her more

I'm glad people are finally seeing what Jill Stein has done all these years: Nothing.

The real problem with the green party is that they have never proven their ability to DO anything. If you want to run a presidential candidate, I want to see what the party has done in other elections. I want to see how your party builds an electoral infrastructure. They have none of that and they don't get elected to local offices and they haven't shown any ability to govern.

She’s the worst. Always attacking Kamala but never Trump. She sounds really petty like she expected Democrats to endorse her or something.

My nephew voted for her in 2016 because he fell for Pizzagate and thought Dems were eating babies.

I know someone who always votes Green Party if there’s that option. It frustrates me to no end. No, it doesn’t show “them” that you care about the planet. Vote for the person who can actually make changes to policy happen. We have to just not speak at all around elections.

If the Green Party was trying to seriously move the country to the left, they would:

If the Green Party was just trying to act as spoilers and help Republicans win, they would:

And what does the Green Party do under Jill Stein?

Reading that AMA just makes me ashamed about how entrenched we're going to continue to be with the two-party system.

Pretty reasonable AMA imo.

The mass downvotes and upvoted misinformation about the Greens here and in the AMA are pretty telling. People are either unwilling to engage with reality, are astroturfing, or both.

Unwinnable ... Nnna , We will get 5 percent of the vote then we win in 2028. We get federal and state funding and we get 🗳️ access already in all 50 states. That is a win in my book. Think long term not short term.

In the past 3.5 years, Stein, who has had no power, has done nothing.

In the past 3.5 years, Harris, who has been the VP, has done ..... nothing? Been complicit?

As a communist, I don't like the green party because they're just social democrats and I don't care for Jill Stein, but jesus christ I hate liberals. Y'all seriously buy into so much propaganda it's disturbing. And sure, conservatives somehow are more propagandized and reactionary, but y'all are more conservative than Jill Stein and somehow convince yourselves that she's the right winger cause she doesn't think rainbow flags on missiles is progressive.

Isn't she pretty much the only left wing politician running? I'm surprised the Americans on Reddit hate her so much
