Jill Stein taps ‘Bernie Sanders movement’ in Green Party presidential bid

Since the DNC election rigging scandal, things are not looking good for suspected war criminals allied lobbies as Stein-Baraka ticket creates a buzz:

Jill Stein taps ‘Bernie Sanders movement’ in Green Party presidential bid


“It is such an honor to be also running in alliance with the Bernie Sanders movement,” Jill Stein said to thunderous applause at the Green Party Presidential Nominating Convention in Houston. “We are Bernie Green!” (Associated Press)

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Sunday, August 7, 2016

Short of adopting wire-frame glasses and a Brooklyn accent, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein did everything possible last weekend to blur any distinction between herself and Bernard Sanders.
“It is such an honor to be also running in alliance with the Bernie Sanders movement,” Ms. Stein said to thunderous applause at the Green Party Presidential Nominating Convention in Houston. “We are Bernie Green!”
To nobody’s surprise, Ms. Stein, a Harvard-educated physician and prohibitive front-runner, won the nomination Saturday at the University of Houston. She will run on a ticket with human rights activist Ajamu Baraka.

That the senator from Vermont has endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton matters little to the Greens, a third party poised to make an enormous electoral leap in November if Ms. Stein can persuade Mr. Sanders’ ground troops to line up behind her instead of staying home or voting Democrat.
The Greens suffered a setback Friday when a federal court ruled that the Commission on Presidential Debates has the right to exclude third-party candidates such as Ms. Stein and Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson from televised forums if they don’t meet polling criteria.

Jill Stein’s Platform Attracts Bernie Sanders Supporters As Poll Numbers Surge


Frank Yemi

With Clinton and Trump having issues with trust, third-party candidates, such as Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, are enjoying a surge in the polls.
Jill Stein is officially the Green Party’s nominee, and she addressed angry Bernie Sanders supporters in her acceptance speech.
“I want to thank Bernie Sanders supporters who refused to let the political revolution die,” Dr. Jill Stein said in her Green Party acceptance speech. “We have a tremendous opportunity before us. The American people are longing for a change. They are ready to do something different, and we have to be the vehicle for that difference.”
Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton after failing to clinch the Democratic nomination. Many of his supporters have claimed they will defect. While Donald Trump tried to court these disgruntled progressives, they seem to learn towards Jill Stein’s Green Party policies.

The ruling all but guarantees that Ms. Stein will be excluded from the debates, given that the commission requires participants to reach at least 15 percent in the polls. A McClatchy-Maris survey released Friday shows Ms. Stein with 6 percent, and even that is a recent high-water polling mark.

Green party only on ballot in 20 states. And to get into any debates (and be noticed by the average person) needs to get up to 15% in the polls.
 
Age and bad camera lighting probably. It happens.

Polls can be fickle, rigged just as media coverage can be slanted and crooked.

But political system is not rigged for sure.
 
Excessive Photoshop over-processing on that one.

Stein is ahead of the 0.36% she got last time though her presence so far doesn't seem to be helping Trump (by hurting Clinton).

She is just right for Bernie's crowd. I am not surprised in the least.
 
Cautiom, this is online poll and has not yet been vetted by media owners' employees.
But this could suggest historic Jill Stein candidacy is on the rise and her Baraka VP pick could pay off if Baraka can break away even 20-30% of black vote away from Hillary's "all white" ticket.

Edited to add correction
:
Looks like this poll is being conducted on a site not controlled by any of MSM media owners.
But if DNC-media collusion leaks are moving Hillary's opponents to hold polls on sites not sanctioned by media owners, that is not good news for media credibility that was already very low.
Was bit surprised that Jill Stein's historic Baraka VP pick could be impacting election race this early to this scale.
