Jill Stein's latest victory lap demonstrates she was in favor of Trump the entire time.

23. What is the point?

So much hand wringing about a party that got 1% of the vote.

I would like to ask one of those that think she is the devil incarnate, if they know how Democracy works. If they even believe in the concept. That a group of like minded people who want to see their issues addressed and don't feel any of the other parties are doing it that well, can start a party, if they can afford it and have enough members, and run themselves.

IMO that should be celebrated. That you live in a country with that political freedom. Including the part you don't like in that this new upstart may take away votes from your own preferred party. But here is the silver lining. New parties spring up for reasons that they feel are not being taken care of. For Greens it was environmental protections, and large corporate money in politics among others. The lining is that it helps to wake up other parties. The closest to their platform is the Democratic party. Nothing wrong with keeping them on their toes. Push them to take more seriously these issues too.

Maybe its just a unique American phenomenon. The only developed country in the world that has, for all intents and purposes, a two party system. You just don't know what to do with a third or fourth party. Of course it would probably be better if there were a more competitive conservative party as well. The Libertarians just don't seem to make any ground.

But by gawd, do people really believe her only purpose to running was to screw Democrats? And worse to elect Trump? Really? She has to be the world's most efficient psychopathic cult leader to fool so many supporters into thinking she actually has morals and principles. That she actually does want Americans to have a fairer system and better air to breathe etc. Dr. Evil x 1000.

I feel I have to add that I in no way am endorsing the Green party, I am not saying vote Green. All I am saying is that Stein is so far down the list of who should be regarded as an enemy that its counter productive, and to me quite odd, to spend time hating on her, especially in such a visceral personal way.
