Really.........
You've admitted elsewhere you make editorial changes to the leaks and decide timing based on impact.
Not acknowledging this in a real way really hurts your credibility.

Yea that's bullshit buddy. She's still pursuing normal medical care. Anything you do on top of that which helps you cope, if it isn't interfering with normal treatment, is only good, and some of it could be legitimately helpful. For example, some malaria meds might help improve cancer outcomes. They are definitely not appariƩes for use yet, but if you have a terminal disease it makes sense to try the risky stuff. Your knee jerk reaction makes it pretty clear you don't have any experience with a disease like this.

I consistently voted green to help you break 5% as I live in a blue state, preferred your policy opinions, and really thought the Green Party should have more of a say in American politics. But you've completely lost me this campaign. My voting democratic won't do anything, but I'd still rather do that than vote Green. It feels like your positions are based off trying to appeal to people politically instead of what is right or makes the most sense.
Eg: canceling student loan debt. Sure, it sounds good, but why cancel it for everyone, including those who could have easily paid it off? Doesn't this create the same moral hazard the bank bailout did? Why not invest in social services that help the needy no matter why they are in need? Why not invest that political capital elsewhere? Especially when this isn't combined with any real justification of how you achieve it, hard to support. It seems like you've only suggested it because it's a good sound bite you're trying to cash in on, not out of a genuine desire to make things better.
A worse example is anti-vaxxers. Sure, science is good and maybe eventually we will find out some vaccine is harmful. But your phrasing is way too ambiguous to come off as anything other than pandering to anti vaxxers while ignoring the harms of fanning the flames of their movement.
Or saying Hillary would be worse than Trump. Absurd, and can only be hugely harmful.
This election it feels like the Green Party has seriously compromised their morals and principles to try to win.

Seriously. Especially in so many countries where there isn't effective regulation of cigarettes - e.g. appropriate warnings on packs.

Are you not concerned this introduces your own biases and slants to the leaks? Especially in the most recent election cycle you haven't exactly seemed neutral with your dumps.
