Jill Stein: Sane vs other Green Party official candidates

Per the Wikipedia page on 2024 Green Party presidential primaries, we have three GP-certified candidates. As for the non-certified candidates, including Randy Toler, rightly "disputed" in his self-aggrandizing claim to be co-founder of the GP, the hurdles for becoming officially Party-recognized as a presidential candidate are pretty low IF you're active in the Green Party. We all went down this in 2020.

On the certified candidates? We have the seemingly hypocritical Jill Stein as the front-runner.

Then, we move to true whackjob Jorge Zavala, who wants to create a "water vortex implosion system." That's more New Age nutbar than Marianne Williamson's water faucets idea.

Jasmine Sherman seems to be perhaps a vanity candidate, also running/heading the one-candidate (for any office, it seems), Unicorn Party. Three guesses as to who the one candidate is. Her GP platform, largely lifted from previous UP documents, I think, is standard left-like identitarian politics.

Update, July 29: Since getting the nomination of the deaffiliated Alaska GP, Sherman has killed the Unicorn Party webpage and flipped it over to a website for that.
