WOW, WOW, WOW GAIL!!! I've not listened to the Peoples Conference of Palestine videos yet but I will. These are some very well thought-out ideas that are going to take a LOT of work -- really, really fast! The idea of the two debates in the places and times, as well as for the reasons you put forth are brilliant! And yes, given what's been happening on college campuses, students, GenZ and Millennials would definitely be instrumental in getting the word out all over social media.

I agree we need a popular mass movement supporting one third-party candidate. Like Briahna and you, I'm ready to break the damned window. Stein's already on the ballot in 21 states so far: https://www.jillstein2024ballotaccess.com -- while, as Aunty Jean said, she didn't get on in NY, I do believe they're challenging New York's ballot access laws in court, seeing as they'd already collected somewhere around 42,000 signatures (not sure where that challenge stands today).

I'm not saying all of this cannot be accomplished in five months, but it'll be a long, hard battle. When I wrote OpEds for my small FL paper, I worked on a 6-person committee (two attorneys who volunteered their expertise for all the legal stuff, the owner of another small local paper and his girlfriend, and me and the husband) to get the city charter amended to include a Citizens' Review Board because of all the incidents of police brutality against Black and Latino people. From start to finish it took us six months and it was intense as hayell --but we prevailed. We all got together at City Hall to watch the votes come in in November and I have to say, I'd never felt so fulfilled about something I'd worked so hard for and really believed in come to fruition. I say all that to say that I totally understand how it feels to come up with a plan, get it moving and follow it through to the end -- like you're doing here. I think you're on to something, Darlin' -- keep me in the loop!!
