minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoJill Stein, yes, Cornell West? I wouldn’t bet on it. He’s 2 for 50 so far… I guess if you live in Alaska or Oregon, you’re in luck. He’s going to wish he stayed the Green candidate. Either way, they’ll pull a tiny segment of the vote and won’t win a single state, just like always.

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 months agoHey, there’s a first time for anything… 2020: Libertarian - 1.18% Green - 0.26% (Howie Hawkins) 2016: Libertarian - 3.28% Green - 1.07% (Jill Stein) 2012: Libertarian - 0.99% Green - 0.36% (Jill Stein) 2008: Ralph Nader - 0.56% Libertarian - 0.40% Constitution - 0.15% Green - 0.12% (Cynthia McKinney) 2004: Ralph Nader - 0.38% Libertarian - 0.32% Constitution - 0.12% Green - 0.10% (David Cobb) 2000: Green - 2.74% (Ralph Nader) Reform - 0.43% (Pat Buchanen) Libertarian - 0.36% Constitution - 0.09% Natural Law - 0.08% In order to hit 5%, she would have to do twice as well as Nader did in 2000. That is never going to happen.
minus-squareHACKthePRISONS@kolektiva.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·8 months agoare you suggesting a politician would get in front of a camera and just lie??
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoShe’s probably hopeful, delusionally so, but hopeful. Nobody running for President is going to come out and just admit “Ok, yeah, I have trouble breaking 1%… but THIS TIME…”
