It would be great if Jill Stein (who hates Hillary) would for the sake of country ask the Greens

How does the Green Party not care about America's well-being?

Are you suggesting the Green Party does not deserve to exist? What it is?

2000 was a perfect example where Nader used the green party to throw a wrench into the democratic side of the election....and succeeded

Well I can not blame them for not giving a crap about the democratic party, but 'america's well being?"

Are you kidding me????

first made me like Mrs Obama was a local encounter she had at an ice cream shop around the corner with a guy in a Green Party tee shirt. She walked in, looked at the room and made a bee line to the Green and asked for that vote with a big smile of the sort one offers to allies.
Good thing Michelle Obama does not have your attitude.

one of the other party candidates? It's kinda the whole point of being in a third party not to do that.

And no one really cares what's in the platform.

to Bernie to help work in the coming political revolution.

This reminds me of the people predicting the end times. The date always gets pushed back.

it reminds you of.

She certainly has a good opinion of herself!

Did you somehow miss the big red stop sign when you began to post?

"For the sake of the country" HUH?

I don't think you're going to get your wish.

New York is the exception. In New York, it would be legal for the Greens to put HRC in the ballot as their candidate for president; in that case (on the one hand) Green votes would count toward HRC in determining New York's vote in the electoral college, but (on the other hand) those votes would count to keep the Greens on the ballot in the next election. In other states, a two-party consensus makes this impossible under electoral law (since both of the major parties would prefer to keep other parties off the ballot entirely.) It would be good if, in the future, the Democratic Party would change its position on this.

a thriving Working Families Party that regularly cross nominates with the Democrats. Any State could do that if they wanted to. NY is not THE exception, it is one of eight exceptions. Along with NY and Oregon, CT, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, South Carolina and Vermont make up the eight States with some form of electoral fusion.

and, agreed, it is not a DNC thing. As I said, it is bipartisan, in most states. And it could be costly to either major party in given circumstances. The OP was saying that the bGreens should support Hillary, and these electoral laws make it essentially suicidal -- from a party point of view. As we sow so shall we reap.

There is very little in common. I cannot see any 'endorsement' of Hillary coming. If Hillary wanted votes from the Left, she wouldn't have been so Rightwing. Clinton political expediency triangulation kind of blew up in her face. Sucks for her, and the RW Democrats who thought she'd be a good candidate.

as with the moderate republicans who claim they did not leave the party but the party left them...i am beginning to understand how that feels

Jeez.....

Might mimic some Green ideas, however, the two parties have few similarities in values and ultimate goals. The Clinton wing is much more comfortable hanging out with the GOP than the Greens.

... to garner an endorsement like that. I somehow don't see that happening any time soon.
