    I don’t live in the US but just read her Wikipedia page - am I missing something Jill Stein seems way better than Bernie. Surprised I don’t hear HBs talk about her more seems like the best kind of candidate Burgerland could possibly produce.

      She has some typical green bad vibes around vaccines and nuclear, i think, and electoral politics is a void, outside of polling amount of non-genocidal electorate of the usa, its relatively useless. Plus we have pumpkin spice latte PSL

      A big problem with Stein is that she only appears every four years to be the candidate and then goes back to obscurity until the next election. It seems that she has no interest in actually building a legitimate Green Party that could compete with or even form a coalition with the D’s and the R’s.

      At least Bernie is out there doing some kind of consensus building on things like healthcare or GND and backing other D-S candidates for lower office.

      The Green Party will never take the oval office without the support of Green mayors, governors, or people in congress.
