Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein arrested

92. I don't see the right as an enemy, and I definitely don't see the Greens as an enemy.

I can understand that there are divergent political viewpoints. I actually do want a representative democracy where everyone has a say. I know that's going to wind up including some right wing folks, and that's fine with me. We don't have a parliamentary system, and should stop acting as if we did.

What I do see as the enemy to this representative democracy is the level of campaigning, the length of campaigns, and how everything a candidate does becomes a part of their campaign - consciously.

Falling for Stein's bullshit is no different than falling for Romney's bullshit. Would you really say that Romney recasting a political rally as a disaster relief effort was him doing the right thing? Do you not see that it's just a crass attempt to appear to be doing the right thing? I guess we could give Stein the credit to make that crass plan from the beginning, but it's still a load of political bullshit.
