    Jill Stein, yes, Cornell West? I wouldn’t bet on it. He’s 2 for 50 so far… I guess if you live in Alaska or Oregon, you’re in luck.

    He’s going to wish he stayed the Green candidate.

    Either way, they’ll pull a tiny segment of the vote and won’t win a single state, just like always.

        Hey, there’s a first time for anything…

        2020:
        Libertarian - 1.18%
        Green - 0.26% (Howie Hawkins)

        2016:
        Libertarian - 3.28%
        Green - 1.07% (Jill Stein)

        2012:
        Libertarian - 0.99%
        Green - 0.36% (Jill Stein)

        2008:
        Ralph Nader - 0.56%
        Libertarian - 0.40%
        Constitution - 0.15%
        Green - 0.12% (Cynthia McKinney)

        2004:
        Ralph Nader - 0.38%
        Libertarian - 0.32%
        Constitution - 0.12%
        Green - 0.10% (David Cobb)

        2000:
        Green - 2.74% (Ralph Nader)
        Reform - 0.43% (Pat Buchanen)
        Libertarian - 0.36%
        Constitution - 0.09%
        Natural Law - 0.08%

        In order to hit 5%, she would have to do twice as well as Nader did in 2000.

        That is never going to happen.
