    “I believe people should vote for a candidate or platform that resonates with them, rather than simply choosing based on who they think will win.”

    College kids, man. No, you vote for the person most likely to prevent a trainwreck from being elected.

    The “soft call” is me with a megaphone up to Shill Stein’s ear as I scream “If you want to be taken seriously you have to campaign before the voting starts you fucking numbskull!”

      Why isn’t the Green Party putting their resources and efforts towards changing the FPTP system? All that money and time could be spent elevating that issue to actually make a legislative difference, rather than pissing into the wind. They can’t possibly be oblivious to the real problem.

      Or maybe, like people who keep stanning for them, their motivations aren’t as pure as they want you to think.

      But since you all hate her, wouldn’t that have been worse?! Because if she would have started campaigning earlier, there would be even more people voting for her.

    A long-term advocate for environmental sustainability and social justice, Stein has struggled to gain mainstream recognition in a political landscape dominated by two major political parties.

    Or maybe it’s that she does jack for anyone in between pointless presidential runs and dinners with Putin? She has no real experience as an elected official, she has no impactful experience outside of politics - the only thing Jill Stein is experienced at is promoting (and fundraising for) Jill Stein. This pretty much goes for the other third party candidates as well.
