At the end of this video, Bill Maher pins West down and gets him to concede that, if Stein is too far behind and he is faced of a choice between Trupm and Clinton, he will vote strategically against fascism.

(18,402 posts)In 2012, Jill Stein received 0.36% of the vote (about a third of one percent), with her name appearing on 83% of ballots across the nation.
I'd say, she might be able to get up to 1.2%, given the BoB surge, thereby quadrupling her previous performance. Which would be yuuuuuge!!

(2,013 posts)and his willingness to support Jill Stein (anti-vaccer, which, in a vacuum, by itself would not ever allow me to vote for her), but when he said he'd vote for Clinton [when it's clear, towards the end of the race, that Jill Stein has no shot (which, really could be RIGHT NOW)], I still considered this a win.
Granted, I don't like that he's supporting a spoiler candidate with zero chance to win (and with STATED goals of electing Trump in order to stop him) to begin with, I'll still take the victory.

Clowns should be laughed at.
