Jill Stein is a career grifter.

Cornell west has joined that grifter train. Funny how he doesn't mention the name Harvard anymore that was his claim to fame.

i can’t figure out what your problem with jill stein could be. how is she responsible for whoever might or might not join her in the green party… whoever might or might not step into the political arena… the green party is an american political party, but they don’t have the right to take a run at the white house? if they’re not as good at politics as you would like, go help them. but attacking them for existing? who do you think you are?

[@onuwaekwueme3301]

Good Afternoon Prof. I listened to that whole interview and I have to say that she and her running mate are unequivocally unqualified to hold ANY office in my opinion. It’s funny how Butch Ware criticizes Madam VP Harris on using identity politics but he made sure to mention his Muslim faith and his Mexican wife. I also find it hilarious that anytime Jill Stein gets cornered, she likes to quote famous political figures as if she’s on par with those she quotes. These two just come off as disingenuous and entitled.

[@1954SkyKing]

Professor Karen Hunter, I totally agree with you. I see Jill Stien as a chaos creator and opportunist.

[@cfree71]

Jill Stein is right on all the issues, but too many Black folks are scared to step outside the little box the Democrats have made for you. Y'all trained to keep wanting to please the white Dems who run the party and call the shots (despite all the Black folk they put on TV).

[@esjay-rh7wx]

I watched Jill Stein’s “Breakfast Club” interview. She and her running mate Butch Ware seemed friendly, but it was clear that the two of them lacked substance and provided a lot of long-winded rhetoric. She blamed the U.S. and U.K. for the war in Ukraine - but not the dictator who actually started the war. She called VP Harris a war criminal, but she NEVER called Putin - the one who attacked Ukraine unprovoked - a war criminal. After Angela Rye questioned her, Jill admitted to having no seat at the table and no ally at the table (no party members or allies in congress); so she has no resources to carry out any of the promises she is making to voters, despite running for (and losing) elections for 22 years. This woman is not serious, and she is clearly Putin’s Puppet, seeing if she can shave off some votes again like she did in 2016. People, don’t fall for it; we are still paying for the outcome of 2016.

The Mehdi interview by far is what made me look at Stein and the whole Green Party with skepticism. I mean she had the opportunity to denounce Putin and did not. wtf? The Angela Rye interview I didn’t like cuz she should have asked questions like Mehdi. Democratic a do participate in white supremacy they are taking dark money as well. I think some of the critical inspection of the Democratic Party should help it be better and that’s what I value in order to make this country live up to what it boasts. Like I said Kamala needs to get off the I$ntreal teet and severe all connections else we will end in another war by proximity not to mention war crimes. Take the money to support I$ntreal and pay into free education, healthcare, pay raises. They say it isn’t possible but we find another country by the billions? wtf. Free, free Palestine!

[@Victoria-tc5cm]

Jill needs to stay quiet and go back to " school" and do real research. Stop talking out the side of your neck!

[@E_Static]

Green party might as well be the unseen party. In order to win, third parties have to put in place a structure, platform, and coalition together on the local level before trying to win on the national level. Win town, village, city, county, state offices first. Crawl, walk, and then run. The green party should set its goals on state wide offices if they want to be taken seriously.

[@relaxlibrary4249]

I wish more people knew this and I admittedly didn't know before. No third party can win the Electoral College as it stands right now because they aren't on the ballot in every state. So voting for them for president is a waste. That said, by all means go ahead and vote for them on the local and state level when you can.

> the need for the US to allow Ukaine to make peace with Russia I don't get your logic in this order, which put the burden/responsibility on the victim - Ukraine, that fight hard to defense themselves. I think Russia should take initiative to make peace with Ukraine because Russia started the war, the perpetrator. It surprises me that most people often expect the victims to do something or initiate something, not the bullies. Something is wrong with our psyche in looking at this.

[@sharondalton7632]

I agree as well that there is genocide taking place in Garza. Understand, Biden is still president. There is only so much Kamala can say to address Garza. Also, those Muslim voters who are mad and want to sit out, that is your perogative.
