It's high time we have a Jill Stein for President thread!
Stein call for charges against Hillary Clinton:
http://www.democracynow.org/2016/7/7/headlines/fbi_director_james_comey_to_testify_to_congress_over_clinton_emails
FBI Director James Comey is slated to testify before Congress today over the agency’s decision to recommend no charges be brought against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of multiple private email servers while she was Secretary of State. On Tuesday Comey said Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information, but that her actions did not merit charges. The decision sparked outrage from Republican lawmakers, from Donald Trump, and from Green Party nominee Jill Stein, who called for charges against Clinton, saying "Hillary Clinton’s failure to protect critical security information is not the only thing in her tenure as Secretary that deserves the term reckless, including her decision to pursue catastrophic regime change in Libya, and to support the overthrow of democratically elected governments in Ukraine and Honduras."

I thought you two were staunch supporters of Bernie for President?
Can't tell anymore. Flava-Flav of the month!0 -
I will either be writing in Bernie OR voting Stein, the Green Party candidate.0

She does not fit the globalist-elitist agenda like Hillary, she will never get the push. She needs to kill a couple of people, do some banker speeches, and call black people dogs before America will accept her.0

No way, of course the Green Party won't see a leader in the WH. My guess is that Stein would get 3% of votes max, and 99% of those votes will be coming from the left. Let's hope that there will be enough room between Trump and Hillary for that not to put Trump in the White House. I wouldn't bet on it, but fingers crossed.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

And my mother is from Canada so I say that not in disregard to Canada but you, coming from another country, judging me, and you're not voting in our election.Post edited by Free on0 -
Do you have some kind of problem with Canadians?Free said:
I was just making your post a bit more fact based. Writing in a name of someone not on the ballot IS spoiling the ballot. Fact, not opinion.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I Edited to Add. Your "fact" is merely an opinion, and I will vote wisely, for whom I want, no matter how much you criticize and judge.PJ_Soul said:

From Jill Stein's FB page:
"Bernie Sanders was actually booed by House Democrats for saying the goal of politics is transforming America, not just winning elections. Well, Greens are in politics to transform America."0 -

Okay, first of all, I'm not criticizing or judging, I'm just pointing out a fact (not sure why you always feel so defensive). No, it's not an opinion. Writing in a name is very clearly and legally spoiling a ballot. You should know that before you write in a name as though it means something. It does not. Doing that and just not voting literally produce the same result. What I'm saying is that I don't understand the motivation behind writing in a name. It's pointless. It doesn't make any statement unless you are trying to make a statement to yourself alone. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
a vote for a 3rd party candidate, while your right, is only going to help Trump.0

You can wave your finger all you want but there are several other voters just like me and Brian who will either write in Bernie Sanders or vote Stein.
Whine away. Wah!

BTW, I very much support a multi-party system, but the USA system simply can't support one right now. Massive government reform would have to take place for it to do anything other than harm. Sad but true. However, that doesn't mean one of the big two parties can't be replaced. The Republican Party seems to be circling the drain right now, and it seems like a good time for another party to get traction and take its place.... but that would require a LOT of citizen support obviously, and frankly, the US population just seems too fractured right now for that to happen. Even folks who support the same people and hold the same ideals can barely agree on anything, lol.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.

Not really. That race was so close, and the media stations were so hot over who claimed victor that it is still controversial. Gore won that race's popular vote.PJ_Soul said:

You realize that this push towards conformity you're doing doesn't sway many of us Bernie and Stein supporters, right?0
