    The comment that was liked says to “vote her if not Trump”, it doesn’t say to vote “Trump if not her”.

    A very important nuance. A more charitable explanation is that she is trying to get undecided voters. Which is exactly what a presidential candidate is supposed to do.

      I agree both that there is a nuance in the difference strong enough to make the tweet in the post misleading/incorrect, and that Jill Stein is still nonetheless actively a bad-faith candidate who wishes for Trump to win

      “vote her if not Trump”,

      Sounds like Stein puts up a clear either/or choice for people. In other words, if you aren’t voting for the weird orange felon, deprive Kamala Harris of a vote, and everyone knows Jill hasn’t a chance in hell of winning. It is not nuanced at all.

        A staffer probably went through and liked every post that said “vote green”
