Most of the posters here are not shy about explaining how she doesn't need our votes, how most of Bernie's supporters will vote for her, and how it's really undecided and swing voters who will decide the outcome.
Someone posted a poll showing she's expected to wipe the floor with trump. Well good. Then stop being assholes to we who will not hold our noses on this one.
You have no right to our votes and neither does she. And most of you are convinced you don't need us anyway.
Go beg and bully the undecideds and swing voters and leave us alone re: our vote in November.

So what you're saying is that you want Hillary Clinton to win but you're not voting for her.

I read the post as s/he wants Greens to get 5% of the votes to get on future ballots

Again you assume a vote in Hawaii has the same effect as a vote in Ohio. That is not the case.

Clearly they would. Swing states are battleground states - that's where the fight is.

It's a myth that Nader cost Gore the election. That's been thoroughly debunked.
