    Jill Stein, yes, Cornell West? I wouldn’t bet on it. He’s 2 for 50 so far… I guess if you live in Alaska or Oregon, you’re in luck.

    He’s going to wish he stayed the Green candidate.

    Either way, they’ll pull a tiny segment of the vote and won’t win a single state, just like always.

        Hey, there’s a first time for anything…

        2020:
        Libertarian - 1.18%
        Green - 0.26% (Howie Hawkins)

        2016:
        Libertarian - 3.28%
        Green - 1.07% (Jill Stein)

        2012:
        Libertarian - 0.99%
        Green - 0.36% (Jill Stein)

        2008:
        Ralph Nader - 0.56%
        Libertarian - 0.40%
        Constitution - 0.15%
        Green - 0.12% (Cynthia McKinney)

        2004:
        Ralph Nader - 0.38%
        Libertarian - 0.32%
        Constitution - 0.12%
        Green - 0.10% (David Cobb)

        2000:
        Green - 2.74% (Ralph Nader)
        Reform - 0.43% (Pat Buchanen)
        Libertarian - 0.36%
        Constitution - 0.09%
        Natural Law - 0.08%

        In order to hit 5%, she would have to do twice as well as Nader did in 2000.

        That is never going to happen.

            She’s probably hopeful, delusionally so, but hopeful.

            Nobody running for President is going to come out and just admit “Ok, yeah, I have trouble breaking 1%… but THIS TIME…”
