Jill Stein in the Twin Cities


Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein was in the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis yesterday for a number of campaign events, including a fundraising dinner in south Minneapolis hosted by the Green Party of Minnesota.

Earlier, Dr. Stein attended the weekly anti-genocide vigil at the intersection of Summit and Snelling in St. Paul, where I had the chance to briefly meet and talk with her. Also present was my friend Christine, mother of Stein’s running mate, Butch Ware.


Yesterday at The Wild Reed, I explored the Democratic Party’s panic about – and blacklash to – Jill Stein and her presidential run. One issue I highlighted in this exploration was Green Party surrogate Kshama Sawant’s recent comments that the Green Party can’t win the presidency but could secure another victory: denying Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris Michigan and thus potentially the White House.

I shared in yesterday’s post Butch Ware's response to Sawant’s comments. Today I share Jill Stein’s response, which she shared yesterday on the Due Dissidence podcast.
