“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

      Oh, it can be done, but that means amending the Constitution.

      To do that you need 290 votes in the House, the people who needed 15 tries to get a simple 218 vote majority to pick their own leader.

      Then you need 67 votes in the Senate, a body that’s incapactitated by needing 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.

      Then you need ratification from 38 states, when 25 went to Biden in 2020 and 25 went to Trump.

      There may be a way around it, but that doesn’t kick in until enough states with 270 Electoral College votes agree to it, and that hasn’t happened yet either:
