They worried she was aiding Mr. Trump<\/strong>, despite her protestations. They believed that <strong>another dead-end campaign would undercut the ideals she claimed to embody.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While Ms. Stein condemns both \u201czombie political parties\u201d as tools of Wall Street and war profiteers, <strong>her campaign has focused largely on hammering Ms. Harris<\/strong> [&#8230;].\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cThe goal is to punish the vice president,\u201d<\/strong> Hassan Abdel Salam, a founder of Abandon Harris, a group dedicated to her defeat, said this month at a rally in Dearborn, Mich., headlined by Ms. Stein. The group has since endorsed her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cWe are not in a position to win the White House,\u201d<\/strong> another speaker, Kshama Sawant, a former member of the Seattle City Council, told a crowd of about 100 inside an Arab American cultural center. <strong>\u201cBut we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In Wisconsin, a lawyer who was previously involved in lawsuits seeking to overturn the 2020 election results represented the Green Party. In New Hampshire, a veteran Republican operative submitted signatures for Ms. Stein.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jay Sekulow, who defended Mr. Trump at his first impeachment trial, has worked on behalf of the Green Party in Nevada<\/strong> [\u2026]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ms. Stein\u2019s running mate, <strong>Butch Ware [&#8230;] has called Ms. Harris the \u201cBlack face of white supremacy\u201d and likened Barack Obama to a \u201chouse negro.\u201d<\/strong> <strong>On Oct. 7,<\/strong> one year after the Hamas-led attacks that amounted to the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Mr. Ware recorded a video to <strong>\u201ccommemorate the one-year anniversary of the modern equivalent of Nat Turner\u2019s rebellion,\u201d<\/strong> invoking the American slave revolt of 1831.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ms. Stein\u2019s coalition, such as it is, can be disorienting. Her campaign was recently compelled to disavow <strong>an endorsement from the antisemitic white supremacist David Duke, who supported Mr. Trump\u2019s past runs.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On some subjects, <strong>Ms. Stein can sound something like Mr. Trump and his associates.<\/strong> She complains of being \u201cshadow-banned\u201d on social media and dismisses \u201cthe Russia-gate smear\u201d that ensnared her after Mr. Trump\u2019s election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, details in new reporting from the New York Times cement Jill Stein\u2019s role as a spoiler for Donald Trump.
