The operative, Jefferson Thomas, might seem like an unlikely ally for Green Party stalwart Jill Stein.

“According to FEC filings, the Synapse Group has worked for Republican Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this cycle, as well as GOP candidates for Congress. Synapse has also been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for field and canvassing work by America PAC, the outside spending group started by allies of Musk that has spent millions of dollars this election cycle to boost Trump and oppose Democrats.”

    Instead of handwringing about spoilers, maybe democrats should run on some of the policies that are overwhelmingly popular instead so there’s no room on the left for someone to run.

    The spoiler effect is the result of geometric distance between candidates, not the strength of policy positions. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
