A-fucking-men.
They can say they're voting green because the Democrats are too conservative for them, but if that's their go-to excuse then I'd say it's time to dump them now no? The party they support is just a lie to get conservatives in office.
Funny how she only pops up during presidential elections and doesn't seem to give two shits about the green party during literally any other election.
I voted for Jill once, and then she came out against vaccinations during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and I realized she was an idiot.
She's as much green as she is dressed in green - just empty platitudes for people obsessed with the "sanctity of their body".
I'm still formally registered with both parties, but I get invited to vote in the Dem Primaries way more often
We need actually competent third parties, just being on the fringe doesn't make you competitive
It seems your claim about her being against vaccines is false.

The rating says false, but the more you read of the article itself, and the many on-the-record things she's said in interviews throughout the years, the more clear it becomes that she talks out of both sides of her mouth; Perhaps so she doesn't alienate the anti-vax portion of her constituency.
Not surprising, to me, as she's historically been perfectly comfortable talking out of both sides of her mouth:
