An idea that might work?

It seems to me that the biggest problem that Jill Stein's campaign faces is the near-absolute blackout imposed by the Democratic Party and the mainstream media. Most people have no idea that's she's even running

If voters knew there was a candidate standing for universal health care, housing, peace, a $25 minimum wage, getting corporate money out of politics, and canceling all student debt, I suspect she'd win. But the Democrats and the oligarchs are absolutely desperate to make sure that nobody even knows she exists. 

Here's a thought: what if every Jill Stein supporter printed out five or 10 (or more) Stein/Ware 2024 flyers? Standard letter size, with just a few bullet points for her primary positions. For those who only have access to black and white printing, maybe add a dash of green with a crayon or marker. Then everyone puts them up around town, across America, all on the same day. The media would still ignore it, probably, but people would see. At least some of them would. It just might be a way around the media blackout.

Postscript: I've written to the Stein/Ware campaign but only got a canned response. But it seems to be such an obvious move! The Democrats and Republicans have the advantage of money and the media, but they're scared; if we can get the word out, voters will go Green. Printing fliers is cheap. It's a decentralized project. We can post them on telephone poles and other public places. If we all did it on a single day, the impact could be considerable.

In the meantime I'm thinking about what the fliers might say. How about "Stein/Ware 2024", with "Healthcare for All", "$25 minimum wage", and "PEACE"? With a link to her webpage at the bottom? I'll work something up and post it here soon.

Refuse the Uniparty

You don't have to compromise your principles or accept complicity in the cold-blooded murder of thousands of children. You can vote for Jill Stein or Claudia de la Cruz. They both have great stances on Gaza, and you'll find that their policies are outstanding across the board - far more in line with what Americans want, rather than the oligarchs.

No matter what we do, Trump's going to win anyway. But we don't have to accept the DNC's cynical forcing of another Biden/Trump contest on America.

The political crop

If it weren't for his slavering support of Israel, RFKjr might have had a chance. West simply showed poor judgement too many times to be trusted. Stein seems the best of the alternatives *by far* on her positions and temperament, but I suspect that she's not likely to appeal to more traditional and Republican voters as RFKjr does. The DNC did everything they could to destroy her reputation after the 2016 election,  and since devoted Party loyalists (of both parties) tend to swallow what they're told by their political leaders without question, it's going to be hard for Stein to pierce that veil of ignorance.

But just a reminder: Politics is NOT the answer. In the end, the American political system is owned lock, stock, and barrel, by the oligarchy. They'll happily kill if they have to to protect their power (see Epstein, Jeffrey for just one of many examples), but they shouldn't need to. They'll simply use their media - which they also own outright - to pull a Jeremy Corbyn on anyone they oppose. In other words the media will put out slander and lies against any candidate or movement that challenges the absolute power of the elite, 24/7, rendering them politically dead. And of course they also control the voting and vote-COUNTING apparatus, although their control is slightly less iron-clad than their control of the media.

Lastly, don't forget that they can (and will) influence, censor, or even turn off the internet in the USA at will, either in specific areas or nationwide. The censoring, of course, is done by Big Tech at the command of the oligarchs.
