Jill Stein, Green, Idiocy

Gtilley8

Never realized that the famous dinner party where Michael Flynn was caught with Putin, Jill Stein was at the same table.  After watching her on the news today, I firmly believe she is part of the problem.  In the interview she's arrogant, and towing a line only a Putin backer could admire.  

For those that voted for her, after voting Nader in 2000, you're idiots. It's that simple.  You should've learned after living through Bush.  It's arguably worse now (time will tell how much worse).  Thank you.  For those that felt they voted Stein with their conscience - you were wrong, very easily played, and very stupid.  

I rarely broad brush like this, but this begs for it now.  Please, let me know how smart you were to vote green again after seeing the fruits of your labor in 2000. Thanks.

Yes.  I know it's hard to justify your vote now.  But please, let me know how smart your green vote was in 2016.  I see views, no responses.  That says plenty.  Stay silent.

I can see people lining up to comment with that invitation.  

Being a Canadian citizen, I'm not eligible to vote in the US. Our system compared to yours is apples and oranges but I will say I voted Green in our last two federal elections and I live in the riding with the only Green MP. I'm content with my choice. Would I have voted Green if I was an American citizen, given the choices available last November? Probably not.

That's fair.  I am picking a fight.  Also, you're correct.  Green in Canada has nothing to do with green here.  There may be some common core values, but I'm not sure the global impact is the same.  Also, I'm not going to be an American judging another country's voters, so it really has nothing to do with any other country, or their system.  That's on them.  

There was a ton of "I'm voting Stein" people on this board prior to the election, and I think they were vastly uneducated on the repercussions of doing so.  We're seeing the fruits of that now.  

I'll gladly admit, I was a Bernie guy.  But I lived through the 2000 election.... Voted Nader, terrible mistake. Never again will I make that mistake.  And for anyone else that was able to vote in 2000 and chose the wrong side of history, they should have known better this time.   It was pure stupidity.

And I'm ending the fight here. If you wish to have a discussion, compose a post that isn't so hostile with its criticism. Make room for people to discuss.
