A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris’ lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein’s candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.
Ranks 60 out 284 in Five Thirty-Eight’s rankings. Not bad.
Libs will still blame leftists like blue maga wants them to.
This is a sentence with words, but the arrangement makes no sense. You sure you didn’t generate that from ChatGPT?
“I have no reading comprehension skills” isn’t the own you think it is.
? Do you disagree? Isn’t blaming leftists what blue maga is currently priming their voters for if/when they lose?

I’m struggling really hard to see which voter is on the fence between Trump and Stein. Wouldn’t it be more likely to be on the fence between Stein and Harris, or Stein and the couch?
Jill Stein is providing spite voters an option to not vote for Donald Trump.
Hillary took a lot of friendly fire in 2016 from the Bernie Bros who were not too happy.
It’s a fun thing to tell yourself, but more Sanders voters voted for Clinton in 2016 than Clinton voters voted for Obama in 2008.
I think Trump draws a lot of broad support from his ‘anti-establishment’ rhetoric so it kinda makes sense for folks to look to other anti-establishment candidates as an alternative to him. There’s a tendency to look down upon Trump voters as only right wingers, conspiracists etc and not really understand that a lot of his support is superficial and based on limited information.
In a way it’s not so much that Stein or other left candidates are spoilers for the establishment Dems but more the case that figures like Trump are spoilers for progressive alternatives to the establishment.
Funny if true.
She can still go fuck herself.
I won’t believe a single poll until this election is over. There is so much incentive for misinformation out there it is unbearable. Just get out and vote.
[email protected] about to lose their minds with rage.
most don’t pay attention; so they wouldn’t notice.
What’s with .ml obsession with stein anyhow? Is it the links to Putin? I don’t get it.
Green party is the most progressive party that has access to 400+ electoral votes. Anyone that wants to participate in the face would want to vote for them. And Dr Stein pisses off right wingers like no one else, which is a plus.
Jill Stein releases a statement: “To be clear, I only want Kamala votes please! Only former Kamala voters!”
Yay!
“No shit,” seth suggests.
No candidate is owed votes.
Green party candidates may siphon some votes that might have otherwise gone to a Democratic candidate, but that’s the Democrats fault, or choice, depending how you see it.
It’s also a pretty important feature of a party like the Green party. Assuming they want specific political actions, they provide the major party of choice: either align your policies closer to ours, or risk losing votes. For the Greens, this is a juxtaposition with the Democrats, and it always has been.
So to say that the Green party candidate hurts the GOP more than the Democratic candidate, is so dumb it makes my head hurt.
But again, those aren’t votes the Democrats are owed. It’s votes they lost, because their values don’t align with those voters.
Insanity. Anyone willing to switch to Stein should be at least as willing to switch to Harris. Someone get this goddamned grifter out of politics
My wife is one. She voted for Trump in '16. She won’t vote for him again there’s no way she’ll vote for Kamala.
democracy enjoyers when people vote for candidates that better represent their positions: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
You’d be right if first past the post didn’t exist, unfortunately the game is rigged
Donald Trump is a threat to democracy 😭😭😭 now shut up and vote for the candidate, peasant. You’ll have a primary when you earn it.
I’m sorry that I live in reality and like to focus on actual outcomes instead the little butterflies I get when I make empty idealistic speeches.
Getting Trump elected better represents your position? Then by all means - that’s the only thing your vote can actually accomplish in her bucket.
🥱
Voting third party under the US system doesn’t improve society so, like you, the meme kind of misses the point.
So don’t vote is your message. As a PSL voter I agree, but i want you to internalize what you’re saying.
Voting
third party under the US systemin the imperial core* doesn’t improve societyFTFY. Organizing and direct action gets concessions
