Let's assume for a minute that Jill Stein understands the Green Party's closest ideological allies are Democrats
Let's also assume that the Green's goal is to gain enough votes so they reach the 5% threshold & gain federal funds in future elections
If that is the case, it doesn't matter which state they get it from. In fact, their best bet would be to target safe states like CA
B/C from there, they can safely leech liberal votes w/o losing liberal influence (democrats) in Washington. Ppl would be more amenable to
Switching a vote in CA anyway, since they know their state is safely going to the major liberal party. What you definitely wouldn't want to do is to risk the worst outcome, which would be to attain neither the 5% threshold, nor have the mainstream liberal candidate win. So if the last thing you would want is to be a spoiler, then it is only logical that you would focus your campaign efforts in safe states. Why then, would you possibly campaign in a battleground state, like MI or WI. And if you did, why would you when it is so close to the lection? I mean, the only reason you would campaign in a battleground state in the LAST 10 DAYS of an election, would be to be a spoiler
So again, what the fuck was Stein doing in WI & MI right before the election, unless she wanted DJT to win?

(12,368 posts)I was attacked constantly by DU posters during the election and post Election more so when I criticized Stein... especially when warning not to donate to her fake Recount of votes campaign scam..
Nothing was really done here on DU then to preserve out discussion integrity....I was very disappointed.
