She's not a Democrat. That's the whole point!

DU is supposed to be about advancing Democratic candidates. Those candidates span the spectrum from Clinton to Sanders. A healthy spectrum. We don't need to be promoting non-Democratic fringe characters like Stein.

That's my issue. When people say stuff like "She makes some very valid points", that get's my goat. Forget her, forget the Greens, we have enough diversity in a party with Clinton and Sanders already.
