    I certainly hope she does get 5% but I doubt it being here in Florida. I voted for her and I'm hoping she gets that 5% so that in the next election presidential elections they will be a mandate for a third party.

    Peace
    realpolitics has her tracking in the average polls at between 2% to 3%. I hope these polls are at least a couple of percentage points off. You'd think with all the unpopularity of the two leading candidates that the independents Stein and Johnson would be doing better. Are we here in the US stuck in a two party rut or what?!

    Only if we continue to allow it...could there be changes to this after this election? I guess we wait and see

    I am pretty surprised myself that Stein isnt doing better considering the options, I really wish she was but she doesn't get the exposure the other candidates do

    I think his point is that assimilation is more than just joining the middle class. I can only imagine the frustration of black activists generation upon generation. Progress at a snails pace is the American way.

    But what do I know? Baraka knows far more about all this than I do and it is just one facet of the man. His position includes "an agenda of economic, social, racial, gender, climate, indigenous and immigrant justice." Sounds good to me.

    If he didn't mean it was a genocide, then he wouldn't have said it was (to sane people).

    Bump because I predict at least one of you will change your mind last minute and vote for Stein. :smiley:

    Just one more time chime in for anyone here NOT in a swing state to consider voting for Stein. If she gets 5%, Green Party qualifies for public funding next time. Let's consider widening the playing field.

    Thanks, peace, and keep cool tomorrow.

    You are not seriously comparing a Harvard educated Doctor to Sarah Palin.

    I sat there for 5 minutes staring at the fucking thing. I was undecided, even while voting...

    Went with Stein. Glad I did.

    Today I will try very hard not to criticize anyone for their choice in voting- we are lucky to have that freedom. Yet at the same time I will not hesitate to say--- thank you MayDay!

    Please everyone today, no heart attacks, ulcers, dives off the roof top, kicking the dog, yelling at the cat. Life goes on no matter what the election result.

    Doctor knowlege doesn't equal political knowledge. Just look at Ben Carson on the other side.

    Looks like the leadership in the green party is disassociating itself with Jill over the recounts.
    Hopefully she didn't do any long lasting damage to the party.

    What difference would it really make if she did? It's not like they have a lot to lose anyway.

    What damage could the recount possibly do to the Green Party?

    None whatsoever. When there is nothing to lose there is nothing to damage.
