Tom Rogers: Jill Stein blew it for Hillary Clinton, will she do the same for Harris? - Morning Joe - MSNBC

[TexasTowelie]

"Unfortunately for Kamala Harris, Jill Stein is back in the 2024 election, having not run in 2020. Why she is back is a good question. She has absolutely no chance of even getting a single electoral vote. However, she has some chance of playing spoiler in a way that would do what she did in 2016 and directly cause Trump to regain the presidency," writes Tom Rogers in a recent Newsweek column. Rogers joins Morning Joe to discuss.

1. Stein won't blow it for Harris

if nobody votes for her. I would hope that she would only peel votes from The Felon.

2. No she won't. Anyone who votes for Stein, West, etc. are actually voting for trump. They are a bunch of losers who are

hoping to be spoilers.

They aren't Democrats,, and they sure as hell aren't progressive or liberal.

No actual progressive or liberal would vote for a third party candidate in this election with the very real risk trump poses to our Democracy.

9. We had one here the other day saying as a serious Quaker she couldn't possibly vote for either Kamala or Trump...

…so she was gonna write in Cornell West.

The post (and probably the poster) was gone before I could even post my objection. Fast work!

I don’t know about Cornell West’s feelings about Putin in particular, but Jill Stein is most assuredly a Friend of Putin, and nobody I would ever trust. She exists to bring down Dem presidential candidates.

3. Meh

I think most sane people know the high stakes involved in this election, especially after what happened with the Supreme Court and the Dobbs decision because of Trump's win in 2016. Stein will probably get a few votes, but not enough to make a difference.

10. I liked it when I first heard it, too

I don’t think it should be allowed to lapse into obscurity.

5. Well... let's be fair... it was Jill, and at least one other that I can think of *

* who helped to undermine Hillary and quell enthusiasm and stoke resentment that would depress the voter turnout.

6. No. No. And. No.

[DENVERPOPS]

7. I would hope

that everyone here, knows her for what she is, an agent of Putin/Russia.......Her sole purpose was to split the votes away from Hillary.
It has been done in several elections I know about......

11. If the Greens were serious about becoming a real party

They’d sack Stein, build a party structure, then start running candidates in places where they could actually get elected.
