“We are not in a position to win the white house,” Green Party surrogate Kshama Sawant
declared on Monday, “but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. [The crowd cheers.] And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”
Later this week, at a rally where Stein herself was present, sociologist Hassan Abdel Salam passionately
argued, not that Stein would be a good president, but that the Greens could ensure “a failure for the Vice President—the loss of Michigan and the loss of the White House.” He added exultantly, “We can depose the leaders who sit atop a superpower!”
