The Green Party is a joke.

A bunch of FRINGE POWERLESS FLAKES who have never amounted to a piss hole in the snow. I know someone who played with joining them and then bailed quick because they ended up being such a bunch of flakey goofballs.

Yeah, as if anyone gives a shit about Jill Stein.

Same with the Libertarians. FRINGE.


Like Nader, Stein and the Greens are probably taking REPUBLICAN ratfucker money. FUCK them!

1. I hate to be cynical but all of them take money for influence.

Some more so than others, and none want you to know the details.

2. Odd to focus so much hatred on an irrelevant joke.

It is almost as if somebody just can't stop fighting the primaries and is looking for ways to skirt the rules against doing so.

4. How so? Both of those parties/candidates are legitimate targets during the general election.

I'm in agreement that they're both jokes that are worthy of ridicule and contempt... but, it's unclear how this OP is an attempt to skirt-the-rules, or why you believe it to be so.

The rule about "don't keep fighting the last Democratic presidential primary" appears to be one that's limited to our Democratic party only. Neither of those candidates have anything to do with Democrats, so what's the beef?

Why does it bother you so much? Why accuse the OP of "skirting" a rule that doesn't apply?
