A recent poll shows Jill Stein's appearance on the ballot might be hurting Republicans more than Democrats, a reversal from 2016.

A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris’ lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein’s candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.

    There is no worse genocide, that’s not a thing, and I’ve already voted for Claudia. Stein is a fine choice for those that can’t vote for the best candidate though. No one, not one human with a brain and sense of humanity would vote for genocide, so two candidates can be struck off as choices.

      Okay. The extra dead will feel great about that fact.

      Okay. Protect your feelings at the expense of Palestinian lives, that’s your right as an American with no vested interest in others. I’m just pointing out what you’re actually accomplishing.

        You’re explicitly voting to send US troops to aide the Palestinian genocide. You don’t get to speak about them or try to shame anyone else you (censored for civility as there are neolib mods exclusively). I hope you and your family get what you so gleefully vote for others.

        I’m sure the soldiers that will kill themselves and the Palestinians they murdered appreciate you voting for the “lesser” genocide.

          I’ll keep fighting for people’s lives instead of your empty virtue signal for Stein. I don’t care that you feel better because you feel like you aren’t voting for genocide. You are enabling Trump, and he has been very explicit that he wants to give Israel more.

          Enjoy your warm fuzzy feelings for doing what is wrong. That’s totally your right 🤷‍♂️

            There is no more for the US to give Israel. That’s what you need to get through your brainwashed skull. On genocide, democrats and Trump are 1000% in total policy agreement.

            You are voting for genocide. There isnt a way to weasel out of this. You are explicitly a member of the Nazi party in 1943 justifying your stance with a vague 'but those commies would do a worse genocide, and against us!" excuse for your vote.

            You will have to live with that, forever, that you didn’t do your best, you didn’t try to minimize loss of life, you explicitly wanted genocide to happen so much you voted for it.

              …are you aware of what the US arsenal contains? We have given them very, very few of our capabilities. Trump wants to open them.

                We have an entire carrier group dedicated to the defense of Israel at the moment, and Israel already has nukes. There is no more the US can give except dumb kids from poor areas that just wanted to not have to join a gang.
