While Ms. Stein condemns both “zombie political parties” as tools of Wall Street and war profiteers, her campaign has focused largely on hammering Ms. Harris, blaming the White House she serves for relentless violence in Gaza and Lebanon.

And Democrats, as never before, are focused on Ms. Stein.

The party has prepared a negative ad blitz for the election’s final weeks, its first-such effort ever directed at a third-party candidate. Fearful that Ms. Stein might divert critical votes in places like Michigan, Democrats are also pressing their case on billboards plastered recently across swing states:

“Jill Stein Helped Trump Once. Don’t Let Her Do It Again.”

She dismisses the “spoiler mythology” that has come to define her mainstream identity, noting — accurately enough — that some of her supporters would never back Ms. Harris anyway.

She says that Democrats would do well to look inward, disputing that she bears any responsibility for Mr. Trump’s fortunes, then or now.

“Those conversations never go anywhere,” Ms. Stein, 74, said in a wide-ranging interview.

    😂

    So, let’s hear your take on “What even is her endgame”?

    Now is your opportunity to share your opinion, like I’ve shared mine, and we can discuss it instead of baselessly calling each other nazis. It’s tempting to just dismiss you as a propgandist the way you’ve dismissed me as a nazi (seriously???), but this is just toxic to discussion.

    Its not puffing my chest lol just reality.

    And what are YOU doing right now? Wanting to sway votes from a viable candidate to give them to a non-viable one for what reason, exactly? Hmm, gee, I wonder. Settle my wondering mind, and let me know your take!! I’ll wait.

      Lol how funny they’re calling me a nazi because I support genocide abroad and ethnic cleansing at home. I’m just going to laugh and post emojis of laughing because when it comes down to being challenged I stop pretending to be a liberal and act like a straight up nazi just like on reddit in 2016.

        It must be exhausting to have to dodge basic questions about your position and come up with ways to attempt to deflect lol. Why can’t you just say why you are supporting and believe in Jill Stein? You seem so passionate about it, surely you’ve thought it through and can put your ideas into writing. What makes that so hard? Wouldn’t it be easier to win people over to your cause by explaining your position instead of calling the people you want to persuade nazis? I have to assume you support Stein, because you still haven’t weighed in; correct me if I’m wrong!!

          I’m not obligated to answer questions about a position that isn’t mine own just because you’re too stupid to read properly.

          Quite a bit of projection.

          instead of calling the people you want to persuade nazis?

          A narcissist in addition to an idiot.

            I’ll let you in on something that I’m guessing you haven’t realized yet, human-being to human-being.

            We’ve been through 9 years of this already. NINE YEARS. That is a long time, and people really aren’t goldfish or stupid, like you might think. By now, the alt-right playbook is tired, old, worn out, and desperately needs some new material. People have caught on to it and can spot your bad-faith arguments from the moment you jump into the discussion to try to rile people up against Harris/for Trump. It just doesn’t work anymore.

            Maybe I’m wrong and it does still work, and you can come back and reply “Ha ha I told you so!” if Trump wins in a couple weeks.
