Even if I supported basic income, I really don't like Jill Stein. Anyone who says there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans has zero credibility with me and doesn't get my vote.
Since I live in a solidly blue state I might consider a protest vote to send a message in certain circumstances, but there would have to be a Green (or other party) candidate I liked a lot better than Jill Stein, and the Democrat would have to be significantly to the right of Hillary for me to consider it.

No. The idea that the Greens are preferable in any way is a stupid fallacy, anyway.

Blue states are only blue because voters do their part. It's not guaranteed or unchangeable.
