    She’s worse than that. She wastes her party’s limited resources on fruitless (counter productive even) presidential campaigns for personal clout.

    If she was serious, and not a complete fraud, she’d be putting her effort into smaller campaigns all over the country to build the party up.

      I’ve heard this argument before.

      I’ve already heard the argument that national campaigns are how you gain national media publicity. So it’s the most cost effective way to raise the Green Party profile.

      However you want to slice it, the current political system is very deliberately designed to keep people like Jill Stein quarantined and silenced. Insisting she’s the problem seems to miss the forest of disinformation and corporate propaganda for a very small pro-environmentalist tree.
