the actual green party platform (though yes i know you should pay more attention to the person themself):

Chronic conditions are often best cured by alternative medicine. We support the teaching, funding and practice of holistic health approaches and, as appropriate, the use of complementary and alternative therapies such as herbal medicines, homeopathy, naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine and other healing approaches.

she did an AMA on reddit that was bizarre

For homeopathy, just because something is untested doesn’t mean it’s safe. By the same token, being “tested” and “reviewed” by agencies tied to big pharma and the chemical industry is also problematic. There’s a lot of snake-oil in this system. We need research and licensing boards that are protected from conflicts of interest. They should not be limited by arbitrary definitions of what is “natural” or not.

the fuck does that even mean

she also whines about how vaccines need to be regulated because of big pharma and shes against nuclear power which is a stance i will never understand. look at this fuckin tweet

and, gary can be nutty but he at least has some self awareness about it and isnt ever just pandering by saying completely wrong shit

im all for a third party but she isnt even interesting. everything is against her like big pharma, the corporations, etc etc and im so tired of that martyr complex shit, its destined to fail

anyway honestly i just wanted to quote the party homeopathy thing plus her weird weasely non-answer but then i fell down the rabbit hole. sorry
