Green Party's Stein calls for 'real debate' on 'critical issues'

Critical issues like who is a Russian asset?

Any legit proof that she is a Russian asset?
Just because Russia likes someone or wants to so discontent by using someone's name, doesn't mean that person is a "Russian asset."
Please show links to a legit major news organization that has done investigative reporting on Russian payments to Jill Stein.

FFS. Jill Stein?!?!

Nobody under the age of 40 has even heard your name. You stand for nothing, and have zero experience at this level of political governance. Just go fuck off.

Also, anyone reading this who still votes for her is a vote for Trump or RFKjr, which is a negative. She has no chance. Never did.

She's also a Russian-planted spoiler running in order to divert would-be Democratic votes into a black hole where they would otherwise help stave off Trump's fascist rise to power.
- Any legit news articles that have proof that she has been "planted" by Russia?
  Russia being overjoyed about a candidate or laughing as we don't know who to vote for, doesn't mean she's a russian plant.
  Conspiracy subs are that way ------>
…so debates are bad? I’m not voting for her, but how does calling for meaningful debates trigger this response?
- Right?
  If the democratic nom, and the republican nom are so sure of themselves, so sure that they are the best choice, then why are they afraid to debate a 3rd party?!
  I mean, if the 3rd party person sucks so bad and is so terrible, then they could totally prove that in a debate.
  So yeah, why does the idea of having a real debate with a larger 3rd party candidate scare the other parties so much?
I'm not Jill Stein, so I am not sure what you mean.
Also, a vote for Stein is not a vote for Trump, it's a vote for Jill Stein.
I'm American and I have every right to vote for who I want to be president. Even if it's not someone you like.
- Oh , wow. So you're just an active idiot versus a passive. A willing, as the Russians call it.
  Where do you think Jill gets all her money from?

There should be a debate on substantive issues, but there's no reason to include a fringe candidate who isn't even on the ballot in most states.

She's on the ballot in my state, and I wouldn't say she is a fringe candidate since there are other green party members who have been elected in political positions.
As of 2023, the Green Party is the fourth-largest political party in the United States by voter registration, behind the Libertarian Party.
If we wanna do away with a corrupt 2-party system, then we need to accept 3rd parties.
And if the two main parties are so good and awesome, then they should have no problem decimating a 3rd party candidate in the debates.
- The fourth largest still only receives like, a percentage of the votes nationally. Green Party is absolutely fringe. So is the third largest with RFK.
  At the state and local level it’s easy to get elected just by showing up.
  In any case a lot of the green party’s policy is fringe.

Jill Stein is a willful enabler and ally of fascists, she stands for nothing and means nothing.

I disagree. Feel freel to see for yourself: https://www.jillstein2024.com/platform
I'm happily voting for her.
- If she wants any of that she probably shouldn't be a useful idiot for Trump.

She is right. A real debate on critical issues would be nice

Agreed!

Removed, civility.
- The poster ended the question with "Stein," so if you're not Jill Stein, I don't think it was directed at you.
- Pretty sure they were saying Stein was the russian stooge being the "critical issue" ...

Thanks to everyone posting here.

You all were sooo mad that I had the nerve to post an article that wasn't about one of of the two main political parties (and they are basically the same party now anyway) and there are so many misconceptions here about the Green Party that I was inspired to start a Green Party community here on Lemmy World.

So thank you for that!
