Ye Old Scribe has been beyond absent providing his web blathering. He apologizes for his absence, but promises nothing in the future. He has come to the conclusion that the electorate is going to do whatever the hell it wants, so why bother? No matter what some candidates do, even if they lose the popular vote by a lot, they are treated as if they had some huge mandate.

He has hunkered down in his Northeastern bunker with Mrs. Scribe, now retired.

But Jill Stein deserves special treatment. She has no idea she was retired long ago politically by the electorate. So Ye Olde temporarily came out of retirement just to poke fun at the candidacy of Ms. Jill.

Stein started her presidential run of runs to polite applause, at best, from a small number on the left, and right wing trolls trying to humiliate lefties into voting for her to “at least be honest.” With each run the attention lessened and the forgettability factor increased. Jill Stein doesn’t even get the “hook her off stage” response anymore that she once got. No one cares. Go ahead. Waste your time, Jill. No one’s paying attention anymore

After the 2024 defeat perpetually unelected and unelectable Stein said Harris lost because Democrats had abandoned their base. That’s rich. Jilly abandoned the left long ago by perpetually sucking off Putin, running constant pointless presidential spoiler campaigns. One might say those campaigns only served to elect those she claims to really be against.

Now hardly even that. Her vote total wouldn’t have made a damn bit of difference in the result. But she feels self important, as if she is the one who really would have known how to win.

Obviously not. She proves that every time. Her highest totals would not have made much of a difference, if any at all.

This latest attempt to prove her ultimate wisdom should have had even ferrets, wombats and wolverines rolling in laughter. If every one one of her votes to went to Harris Kamala still would have lost. Of course the idea that all the Jillster’s votes would all have gone to her is absurd. That’s not how it ever works for those who tend to vote third party. It defies logic. Only an idiot would think all those voters would flip to one candidate, an idiot with a rusty spike driven through what little brains are in their head.

The Democrat candidate’s loss was by all means respectable as far as losses go in presidential elections. This was no Goldwater-ish slaughter: not even close. Jill should be so lucky to have a tenth of Kamala’s votes. Jilly has perpetually gotten well under one million every time she ran. While as a candidate she may suck, but she is like the aphid whose inability to suck is legendary among aphids… and every election she hits the election’s windshield as it drives on to whomever becomes president. Providing a smear so tiny no one notices.

Jill Stein is one of these perpetual candidates who hardly go down in history. The footnote of footnotes of footnotes. At least Adlai E. Stevenson was the candidate for a major party two times. In the future we will remember him, and Jill, about as much as we remember President Harrison’s VP: Levi P. Morton. Good old Levi!

The unfortunate thing is she’s become a stain on the Green Party, a party that is better known and more respected in other countries. But our Green Party has so hitched their wagon to Stein that their wagon has become like the guys who come pump out septic tanks. They’re there. But few pay attention or hang around.

To be fair, at least those guys serve some purpose!
