Yes, not dependent on Jill Stein not being a vanity candidate. It depends on voters being thoughtful enough to not vote for her.

Go ahead and keep calling Stein a vanity candidate. But the woman who wanted to be CINC couldn't out-persuade her, per you.

Stein is a vanity candidate because she could have done lots of good but making a Green bloc in the MA legislature...

And she chose to be in the papers by running for Governor and (later) President instead.
