While Ms. Stein condemns both “zombie political parties” as tools of Wall Street and war profiteers, her campaign has focused largely on hammering Ms. Harris, blaming the White House she serves for relentless violence in Gaza and Lebanon.

And Democrats, as never before, are focused on Ms. Stein.

The party has prepared a negative ad blitz for the election’s final weeks, its first-such effort ever directed at a third-party candidate. Fearful that Ms. Stein might divert critical votes in places like Michigan, Democrats are also pressing their case on billboards plastered recently across swing states:

“Jill Stein Helped Trump Once. Don’t Let Her Do It Again.”

She dismisses the “spoiler mythology” that has come to define her mainstream identity, noting — accurately enough — that some of her supporters would never back Ms. Harris anyway.

She says that Democrats would do well to look inward, disputing that she bears any responsibility for Mr. Trump’s fortunes, then or now.

“Those conversations never go anywhere,” Ms. Stein, 74, said in a wide-ranging interview.

    P.S. if you don’t like Nazis, boy wait until you hear about this guy named Donald Trump and some of the things he has said. Something about immigrants poisoning the blood of our country… Hmm, sounds like someone both of us would want to prevent from getting into office, right?

    Seriously, I’m going to need hear a good reason why I should throw my vote directly into the trash on a candidate that is going to receive less than 1% of the vote, instead of voting against a real fascist who publicly has taken the mask off.

      “If you don’t like nazis, consider joining our nazi party! We wear a mask to pretend we aren’t nazis!”

      “Instead of using nazi rhetoric about immigrants while we murder them, we just murder them!”

        You are claiming that Kamala Harris and democrats are murdering immigrants? But I thought Kamala Harris loves immigrants because she can get them to illegally vote for her??? Surely you didn’t just make it up as you typed it…

        Good try! Still waiting to hear your answer to the question “What even is her endgame?”

          At a higher rate than the president before, just like it was with Obama. That’s what you get when you elect a segregationist.

            My friend, both Obama and Harris are black… what a REACH! So if Obama and Harris are “segregationists”, how would you describe Trump?

            I won’t just take whatever side of whatever argument they assign me

            Well, I’m all ears to hear what side of the argument you are on and how you see things! Don’t let me assign a side to you, speak for yourself and tell us your position!
