Jill Stein appreciation thread [View all]

Thank you for calling for and executing a recount.

Hillary would have been pilloried and called a sore loser by Trump, Trumpkins and their lap dogs in the press if she requested one even though she won the popular vote by 2, 500,000 votes.

No! No! No! I thought she was evil and wicked, like Bernie! At least that's what I've read Feeling the Bern Nov 2016 #20

Bernie supported Hillary in the end. Stein played no role in Clinton's loss. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2016 #23

You're misunderstanding my point. Feeling the Bern Nov 2016 #25

I have no animus toward neither. Bernie did all he could and Stein didn't hurt us. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2016 #26

You're in the minority, from what I've read here. Feeling the Bern Nov 2016 #28

Yea, well, Hillary lost by less than 11,000 in MI. LisaL Nov 2016 #37

What math would that be ? Statistical Nov 2016 #38

Sure would have been enough for Hillary to win Michigan, if even part of Stein's votes went to LisaL Nov 2016 #39

I have to admit, I admire her greatly for being on the frontlines for this. nt JTFrog Nov 2016 #21
