Yes, the "Green" Party has Endorsed Trump Over Clinton [View all]

I had a feeling Greens we always a bunch of phonies since 2000. Libertarian not Progress or Liberal.


It's time to rename the American "Greens," who aren't genuinely leftist but a kind of alt-right. I suggest the Puce Party, a brownish muddle of green and red.

It's perfect: there's international confusion as to whether puce is green or red. In Europe puce is a shade of green; in the U.S. it's a murky reddish brown. Like I said... perfect. Besides, "Pucer" sounds like "Truther. “

The Green Party’s presidential candidate, Jill Stein, posted today on Facebook a link to an “Open Letter from the Social Media Director of the Stein/Baraka Campaign,” by someone whose name was given only as “Jillian.” The message reads:

…A Clinton presidency is D A N G E R O U S … If a Trump presidency would mean that we have to fight ignorants in the streets—I’m ready for that. “


Stein commented “I couldn’t have said it better.”

Not even the “we have to fight ignorants in the street” part, Jill? Is that a call to a gang fight or a misspelling?

Literary criticism aside, I consider this sufficiently official. Journalists have been pushing Stein to answer this question throughout the campaign; it has now been answered.

Stein has been increasingly preparing her followers and the public for this idea over the last few weeks. She tweeted on Oct. 14:

Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy is much scarier than Donald Trump’s, who does not want to go to war with Russia. #PeaceOffensive

She retweeted an article by her running mate Ajamu Baraka on Oct 15 titled “Why Hillary Clinton Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump,” which states:

The danger to the rest of us is not Trump, but Hillary Clinton.



What an asshole Jill Stein is and **** the phony Green party.
