In reply to the discussion: Jill Stein's latest victory lap demonstrates she was in favor of Trump the entire time. [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)Is that not clear by now? What it says in the Green platform is totally irrelevant. What matters the effect they have on the direction of the nation. And that effect is to push the country further right by siphoning away voted from Democrats.
And this isn't some big secret. Everyone knows about it. The Dems know. The GOP knows. The Greens know. Jill Stein knowingly and purposefully helped get Trump elected, and yes, helping Trump get elected qualifies as "actively working to destroy the environment."
And my last point was absolutely correct. The possibility of swinging an individual Green voter to the Dems may be lower that the possibility of swinging an individual GOP voter to the Dems. But then again there are some 40 times as many GOP voters as there are Green voters. And then of course there are swing voters who sometimes vote GOP and sometimes vote Dem.
So, yeah, if we're going to follow your logic of avoiding the truth because it might hurt the feelings of potential voters, it would be more important to avoid the truth about the GOP. But like I said, I'm not in the business of avoiding the truth to begin with.
