The Democrats' Criticism of Jill Stein Reflects Their Growing Desperation
The Democrats have recently focused their attention on Green Party leader Jill Stein, which is indicative of their increasing desperation.
Formerly, most polls suggested that Kamala Harris was ahead of Trump. However, skeptics believed this was part of the party's strategy to promote their new candidate after Biden's withdrawal. The reality is now being revealed as even Newsweek, which leans towards the Democrats, felt obliged to publish an article titled "Kamala Harris' Lead Over Trump Being 'Steadily Cut'—Poll" to maintain its credibility.
Three Factors Exposing Kamala's Faux Lead
Three elements have contributed to the exposure of Kamala's artificial lead:
1. Americans have not forgotten Trump's miraculous survival of an assassination attempt earlier this year.
2. Influential former Democrats RFK and Tulsi Gabbard have endorsed Trump.
3. Kamala's CNN interview was a disaster.
These factors have led to the Democrats' sudden criticism of Stein, despite their previous reluctance to do so for fear of giving her free publicity. Trump's genuine lead might already be "too big to rig" or is quickly approaching that point. Stein could once again attract votes from dissatisfied Leftists, potentially leading to Trump's re-election, which is the Democrats' worst nightmare.
Democrats' Strategy: Attack Stein
Unable to effectively counteract the three factors working against Kamala's lead, the Democrats have resorted to criticizing Stein. AOC and DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni initiated this strategy earlier this week. AOC labeled Stein as "not serious", "not authentic", and "just predatory", implying she could draw enough votes from the Democrats to make a difference. Corridoni, on the other hand, defamed her as "a useful idiot for Russia" whose "spoiler candidacy" could help Trump win.
Stein's Supporters Unlikely to be Deterred
Stein's supporters, however, are likely aware of these two narratives against her but are undeterred as they view their vote for her as a protest against the Democrats and the US political system at large. They are unlikely to be scared away as AOC and Corridoni anticipate.
Potential Motives Behind the Attacks
The Democrats' sudden criticism of Stein and the FBI's recent raids may be attempts to lend false credibility to another Russiagate conspiracy theory aimed at discrediting Trump's "too big to rig" lead if he wins. The Democrats' criticism of Stein will only give her free publicity and risk more Leftists defecting from their party to hers. However, this narrative allows the Democrats to blame it all on Russia.
Democrats' Possible Fallback Plan
If Trump's lead is indeed "too big to rig", the Democrats' fallback plan could be to craft this narrative as a last-ditch effort to influence some electors into not voting for him, or at least until everything is "investigated". Stein will likely carry some percentage of the vote as she always does when she runs, and if Trump's lead is "too big to rig", it would make sense to attribute her "spoiler vote" to "Russian influence".
Bottom Line
Stein and all other third-party candidates have the right to run for president, and this should not be discredited. However, the Democrats are known to resort to underhanded tactics to smear their opponents rather than accept their electoral losses gracefully. Blaming Trump's potential return to office on "Russian-backed Stein" and relying on "evidence" obtained from the FBI's raids of Russian media's American affiliates, the Uhuru 3 case, and whatever else is a possibility.
As Election Day approaches and Trump's lead over Kamala increases, or hers over him decreases as some mainstream media outlets might frame it to maintain some credibility, the Democrats will become more desperate than ever.
