Jill Stein is so bad that if we had ranked choice voting, I would still place her pretty low. Above a random Republican, I guess, but there’s got to be a better third party on the left.
Green Party supporters never seem argue on any sort of issue. They don’t try to build a coalition to fix the two party stranglehold at the state level. They barely try to get people into office at lower levels at all–a few hundred positions out of a country of hundreds of millions of people is nothing. Their historical opposition to nuclear power has made climate change worse. They had an internal fight to take quack medicine (homeopathy and such) off of their official party policy in 2016, and there’s still plenty of insiders in favor of it. When a Green Party supporter is presented with this, they fall apart. They can’t defend it because it’s indefensible.

Yeah, Shill Stein has dug her own grave several times, and by extension, the Green Party has too.
