A new poll suggests that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is drawing more voters from former President Donald Trump than from Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to a Noble Predictive Insights survey released last week, Harris holds a narrow lead over Trump in a hypothetical three-way race. With Stein on the ballot, Harris’ lead expands, pointing to a potential spoiler effect similar to what many Democrats blamed Stein for doing to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

For Trump, the emergence of Stein as a potential spoiler may be a critical factor in battleground states, where even a small shift in votes could determine the outcome. For Harris, Stein’s candidacy could paradoxically provide an unexpected advantage, drawing votes from Trump and narrowing his pathway to victory.

    You help those by participating in mutual aid, hiding enemies of the state, and ensuring local community. That’s the same regardless of who’s in power, ever. That never changes.

    But if you vote for genocide, you vote for genocide. You help no one.

      I will help people, because there are people dying and suffering from other things. Neither myself or you will be able to stop The US from assisting in genocide. That’s a hard fact. But what I can do is help those other people. What real impact are you having? If you vote for 3rd party your vote have 0 impact, you help no one, it literally does nothing.
