Remember 2008? People against Obama said he didn't have enough experience to be president, he was only a community leader...brianlux said:OK, now let's take a more serious look at the business of "leadership experience". Some here have suggested that Hillary is best qualified among those running for the job of president. But among her qualifications are experience in propagating war, being in favor of the use of fracking and receiving funding from the super rich. Jill Stein, some of you would argue, lacks the experience to be a leader. But what are some of her qualifications? Highly educated. Experience in caring for people. A strong desire to protect the planet. Much more in favor of seeking diplomatic solutions as opposed to starting wars. Which experience is more important? If you like war, don't care about the health of the planet and believe in the super rich and a shrinking middle class, you should vote for Hillary. If you believe in compassion, caring for people, peace, a healthy planet, you should vote for Stein.
The other thing some of you might add is that someone like Stein doesn't have the experience in government someone like Hillary has. To that I say, quite sincerely, so what? The president does not work every aspect of government any more than a CEO works every aspect of a corporations. Someone like Stein would be able to cover the areas she is inexperienced in with a strong cabinet and good advisors. She is smart. She would learn what she needs to know in areas in which she is weak and would find good advisors for those areas. Clinton is not going to do that. She doesn't show as strong concern for the environment as for big business. Guess which one is going to get priority? Guess which one is going to ruin your land base the quickest?
So if experience means status quo including war, wealth vs poor and a ruined planet, vote for Hillary. If you want a crack at a more equitable world with a healthier environment and a greater chance for peace, vote for Stein."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
Hugh, first of all, Trump will loose massively. I will eat a Lima beans, cilantro and anchovies pizza if I am wrong. (I hate Lima beans, cilantro and anchovies).HughFreakingDillon said:
Brian, no one is saying that experience is the be-all end-all for choosing a candidate. But experience in government is but ONE of the qualifiications that must be considered.

Stein is a great candidate. It's unfortunate that the US election process doesn't give any official time to anyone outside of the establishment. There is no question that needs to change. In the past, Canada has included all 5 parties in the official debates. One of them even being a nonsensical party that only has the interests of Quebec in its platform.
We all know the only reason Clinton is getting elected is that it's too risky to split the left vote and let Trump win. That's it. That's all.
Do you think that, if Stein had been given the same benefits as the R and D candidates, she would have had a legitimate chance? Even in Canada, our Green Party got about 3-4% of the vote. Because splitting the vote and handing the government to the right is a very real concern for many on the left.
Secondly, regarding the bold print above, that is exactly why, at the very least here in non-swing states, a vote for Stein is imperative. What a great way to send a message about the REAL changes that need to take place! I so wish more people would get behind that."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

The election is not rigged against Trump, lmao. I can't believe you actually think that.Free said:

My guess is the election is rigged by Trump to be against Trump. I really don't think he wants the job- just the attention/ego ride.PJ_Soul said:"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
I have certainly floated that theory myself - i.e. that he is trying to sabotage (not rig) his own campaign. I dunno, maybe, although the thing that I think really turned the election towards Clinton was the one thing that has been completely out of Trump's control, so if he was sabotaging things, he couldn't even do that right, lol.brianlux said:

So you truly believe that Trump is acting on Clinton's behalf still? I know it's a theory that's out there, but I'm surprised some of you are taking it seriously with literally no evidence to rely on. I would personally need some actual proof of that... and if there were some, I wouldn't be shocked.lukin2006 said:With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
