Democrats have a new political nemesis: Jill Stein.
The Green Party candidate has not been canceled. She has not posted a meme which a leftist has found offensive, nor has she proposed strict border controls after years of migrant influx; yet, she poses one of the biggest threats to the leftist agenda.
Stein, much like Donald Trump, is running as her party’s nominee for the third time following previous campaigns in 2012 and 2016. Her second effort – during which Trump won the election – was considerably more successful with more than 1.4 million votes across the country.
While that might not sound like a sizeable number, Stein’s presence can swing this year’s election, thus boosting Trump’s chances of re-entering the White House. Such a scenario would be an almost identical replica of 2016, where votes for the Green Party candidate outweighed the margin of Trump’s victory in certain swing states.
Ultimately, the Green Party’s values and beliefs align more closely with the Democrats’ than the GOP. In essence, most of Stein’s voters would be more likely to lean towards Kamala Harris than former president Trump.
A vote for Stein hurts the Democrats far, far more than it would the Republican Party, and that is problematic for the Harris campaign.
Of the seven swing states up for grabs in this election, leads Harris in three (North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia). The remainder are neck-and-neck, although all bar Pennslyvania have seen small but notable Democratic leads since the Vice President entered the race in July.
However, with a resurgent Trump closing the gap across the country, the two candidates are level-pegging in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Stein’s 1% in each state, therefore, could cost Harris the election, and liberals are in meltdown…
Third party voters also chipped in with their views.
