The green party is the "thoughts and prayers" of American politics. Sounds good, but doesn't really do anything.

MODERATORS
They aren't a real political party if they don't have lawyers who keep up with local election law. If DSA and Libertarians can follow the law with ease so can the greens. They have no excuse at all and should build an actual party instead of only popping up for the presidential elections like leeches.
The “meme” Stein posted on Elon Musk’s X says much about what a tool she is.
The format, message, and platform all line up with bad faith actors working to push the US electorate toward a specific outcome.
Just an FYI, this poster has no problem with Trump being re-elected.
Just to save everyone time, OP is here to spread propaganda that benefits the GOP and their electoral chances because they (wrongly and incredibly moronically) feel it will help their own political goals.
Regardless of their supposed political views they claim to have, this has been pointed out ad infinitum and they only respond with bad faith arguments and deflection. Everything they have posted here should be disregarded in its entirety until they want to stop playing games.
Jill Stein is not a serious person.
The Green Party literally turned in a referrendum form instead of a ballot form. The judge approved what they turned in.
This fuckup is 1000000% the fault of the unserious members of the local Green Party. They may as well have signed it in crayon too.
Maybe next time, The Greens can take their jobs seriously and run a serious candidate and file the correct forms instead of whinging at the Democrats for their own mistake.
Now the question is: is Jill Stein 🤔?. The people will let democracy decide on their ballots.

Agreed.
I’m of two minds on this. I feel like this is a little bit of undemocratic action that is in service of preventing much more massive undemocratic action from happening.
- Stein’s candidacy, with Trump on the ballot, is a risk to democracy. She’s not on all the ballots, the odds of her winning are basically impossible, and she can only really help the guy who attempted a coup.
- If the state guided the Greens to use the form without county names, removing them from the ballot for this technically is pretty petty and arguably undemocratic.
We need ranked choice voting nationally.
