who have taken to throwing cans of soup at Van Gough paintings in museums, might be the type who would do something like that as a "protest". If they are familiar with the European "Greens", they may think that Stein is part of an offshoot of them and that is as far from the truth that one can get.

I consider that some of these "single issue" people have not experienced enough life to foresee that some of their "short term actions", can start a horrible "long term cycle" that could make it harder to actually solve the problem. We saw it with the 2016 election.

It all comes down to whether one wants to finally accept "pragmatic (actually 'do-able') solutions" as they think that "pragmatism takes too long".
