Jill Stein Reports Surge in Green Party Support and Donations Following CNN Debate
Independent Political Report ^ | July 5, 2024 | Jordan Willow Evans

Posted on 07/05/2024 7:58:40 AM PDT by Angelino97

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein claimed in a recent interview that the Green Party has seen a surge in support following last week’s CNN presidential debate, asserting that the true winners of the night were third party candidates.

In a recent interview with Newsweek, Stein reported a fourfold increase in donations to the Green Party and a notable rise in support from frustrated Democrats following Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s performance against Republican candidate Donald Trump. She expects this support to continue growing, although she did not provide specific numbers beyond the increase in donations. Stein also remarked that third party candidates emerged as the real winners of the debate, even though none were in attendance, citing polls she had seen indicating a rise in third party support. She further described the debate as a contest between “two zombie candidates representing zombie parties.”

Stein additionally expressed discomfort watching Biden’s performance, calling it sad and highlighting his cognitive issues. She suggested that Democrats should replace Biden, but cautioned that any replacement would likely be a younger version of him and fail to address the broader systemic issues.

“It’s not just Joe Biden,” she told Newsweek. “But Joe Biden is a fitting symbol of the system. This system does not have a brain. It does not have rational thought. It does not have a memory. And it does not have a functioning heart or soul.”

Good for her.

The more votes she can siphon off the eventual Dem nominee, the better.

“(She)... cautioned that any replacement would likely be a younger version of him”

They will be stuck with Kamala, who is actually dumber than Brandon, as hard as that is to believe.

I might have to put up a “Jill Stein for President” sign in my front yard, to help out.

>> I think I like it.

I am enthusiastically in favor of the Snot-Green Party taking votes from the DemonRats! I don’t see them taking any votes from the Trumpublicans.

She's right about that.

Well, yeah. I bet the other losers who operate in the Libertarian Party saw the same.

Mind, I am not criticizing libertarians. But, the party did nominate a piece of commie trash.

“the party did nominate a piece of commie trash.”

We actually caught a break there—if the libertarians had nominated a strong candidate that could have siphoned votes away from President Trump.

I like the way the cards are stacking up right now.

I knew we tend to be a paranoid lot—but sometimes good stuff actually happens in the real world.

Re: "Green Party surging"

If true, excellent news.

Trump would have lost in 2016 without the Green Party.

In 2016, in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, Trump's margin of victory was LESS than the Green Party vote in each one of those states.

In 2020, the Green Party vote dropped 80%-90% in each one of those three states.

Between Stein, the in your face homosexual running as a Libertarian, and RFK, Jr., the leftist have many ways to split votes for Dementia Joe. We should encourage that process any way possible, especially signing ballot access petitions for them.

“The more the merrier” strategy will work very well for the 45th President.

It worked in the Republican Primary contests & will work in the General Election this November.
