I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don’t really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren’t constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.
That’s pretty nuch it. Every election cycle has 3rd party candidates. This time it’s gotten more attention in the media because there’s a good chunk of people, mainly Arabs, who are refusing to vote Democrat as “fuck you” to Harris and her support of Israel.
