Why Not?


The Internet is stronger than we realize. No rigging in the general election, genuine distaste for both party candidates across the nation. (Media will have you thinking otherwise)

the majority of the nation will boycott this election. They are yet to be inspired.

Twitter
Tumblr
Instagram
Facebook

^^^we control those



Just sayin.

Most of the country never votes anyway, its gonna be like bush v kerry in 2004 and be like 50%.

Jill stein has great ideas but you really thing the green party is going to win any states? the internet is powerful, but not as powerful as the two main parties and their millions of dollars of advertising, campaigning, etc. Jill is gonna get like 5% of the vote.

As of today, she's only on the ballot in 28 states... This makes her a little more than a long-shot, but I'm all for more parties trying to get involved. However, gunning for POTUS basically out of nowhere is a bit wishful.

Not with an attitude like that mister.



The Internet is actually more powerful and more popular than the two parties and their millions of dollars, that is why they are trying to control it.

I'd vote for Sanders before I voted for her which is saying something. I can't get behind anyone who is an anti-vaxxer, anti-nuclear energy, and believes QE can be used to eliminate student debt...And that is just to start.

I agree with you,

comcast and a lot of other telecommunications conglomerates are trying to control the internet. But I don't believe that solely the internet can save democracy and overthrow the two-party state.

Bernie's use of social media in his campaign is unmatched to any other US candidate running for public office - that being said, the DNC and the whole debbie wasserman schultz debacle proves that the institutions in place will use all their power to preserve the incumbency rather than support an insurgent or social revolutionary candidate.

read some Chomksy or Zinn and you'll get it.

Was about to give you shit but then I looked at the polls and you're right.


http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton_vs_johnson_vs_stein-5952.html

However, i'd rather have Stein represent me than Johnson any god damn day of the week.

Sorry I have different political beliefs than you? For someone who was so pro-Bernie, Jill Stein is further away from Bernie than your favorite $hillary.

Also, her VP choice is a disgrace. He has doubled down on calling Obama an "Uncle Tom", and will further incite the division between white and African-American citizens with his rhetoric, not to mention the numerous conspiracy theories he promotes. But that is just my opinion.

But as a doctor, Jill Stein should be ashamed of herself for promoting an anti-vaxxer and anti-GMO stance.

Luckily, she is polling worse than Harambe and Deez Nuts in some polls, so she will not be on the ballots nor will she be able to debate (which is a shame, regardless of how I feel about her).

i love how hopeful all the green party voters are. its like watching.......


.......a triple amputee with polio dragging his limp body to the starting blocks of the 100 meter dash. he has a determined look in his one working eye ball. slowly he turns his head to the left; usain bolt in lane 4.turns his head to the right; an f-16 fighter jet in lane 6. "anything is possible!" he thinks to himself.

the official checks his pistol. " runners, to your marks....... set........." BANG!

usain bolt takes off, leaving a cloud of dist behind him. while the fighter jet may lack acceleration, it knows it has a better top speed. its neck and neck.... a photo finish! usain bolt wins again. but where is that cripple?

*camera stuggles to find the cripple amidst the all dust flying*

"there he is pam." says the commentator. " he laying on the ground still bitching about vaccines and nuclear power plants"

the cripple begins seizing. the cripple dies.

In their economic issues? They are VERY very different. Social issues? Similar, but I couldn't give a flying fuck about that.

Regardless, Stein is a complete and utter farce, she is polling worse than Harambe (although that poll is a piece of shit), her VP is a racist, and even though she panders to anyone and everyone, she still can't attract any voters.

Who cares? Voting isn't about picking who you think is goin to win. That's the problem with you people. Optimism is knowing she won't win but deciding that presenting progressive ideas is more beneficial than just bitching about everything.

Anyone who is dumb enough to believe that being an Anti-Vaxxer is a good idea is automatically too stupid to be president. Unfounded claims without any reliable Science behind it besides a few lopsided clinical studies are now causing parents to freak out and let virtually eliminated diseases such as polio appear in pockets of our country. Terrific.

Well, seeing as their government spending plans are supported by VASTLY different military and energy policies, not really.

One wants to tax MNCs at a different rate, one wants to curb military spending. One wants to raise corporate taxes, one wants to set them equal to private tax rates. One wants to keep property taxes as is, one wants to lower them for elderly citizens. One wants to democratize the Fed, one wants more Fed transparency.


But, continue talking about my "ignorance". I can list off more.

But seriously, Jill makes Bernie look informed on economic issues.

She wanted to fucking use QE as a means to reduce student debt...like wut. I don't think she gets what QE is.

I hate to sound like an asshole but I don't really believe there should be a choice when getting a vaccination, and she does. Leaving an option for people to leave their kids un-vaccinated leaves the possibility that another kid could get a possibly preventable disease. I get that some people can be exempt from these vaccines for medical and religious reasons, and that should always be an available option for those that it applies to, but a mom claiming that her kid could develop cognitive issues or get the disease or something ridiculous is totally under-researched and un-founded, and frankly, it puts others in harms way.

Actually, voting is all about producing outcomes- at the end of the day it is a practical exercise because votes lead to laws and laws lead to a real society that affects real people, either for good or for bad. We need to vote correctly, or for the right person(s), so that the right laws get made and we have a properly functioning society.

If your goal is the promotion of justice and the end of injustice, then voting for someone who has no chance of winning (i.e. your candidate is purely optimistic and not realistic) actually places more of a real chance that the opposition wins. In other words, you've played a direct role in increasing the amount of injustice in the world. In voting for a purely ideal candidate, you've actually contributed to the country being further away from justice.

With Trump standing a strong chance at becoming POTUS, we should (first) be working to keep him out of power and then (second) work to refine and improve the situation (i.e. getting someone better than Hillary in power in 2020). If Trump were to win, the country (and potentially world) would be in a far worse state than if Hillary were to win. Until Jill starts polling at decent percentages and is actually on the ballot in all 50 states, then a vote for her is meaningless, worthless, and quite frankly immoral.

Oh boy, are you one of those "nuclear energy is evil!" People? Always great getting a kick out of you dolts. Not every gram of plutonium has to be made into a bomb, and shutting off reactors will only hurt us. It's a dumb idea to get rid of a clean energy source.

Get the fuck out of here. A perfect example of how people will take shit out of context. The US doesn't do reprocessing, so there's no way that spent nuclear fuel could be made into nuclear weapons. To do that requires billions of dollars, massive facilities, and technology that few people in the world know about. You can't just snap your fingers and turn fuel rods into bombs.

Anti-nuclear is not environmentalism, it's bullshit. Any questions, let me know. Thanks.
