    Because with the way we do our voting (first past the post), a vote for Stein is effectively a vote for Donald J Trump, Convicted Felon, adulterer, fraudster, sexual assaulter, etc, etc.

    This election is NOT the election to get “principled” with your choice. The consequence of Trump getting another term is incredibly dire for the health of our country and democracy. The consequence of Biden winning is a shift back in the right direction. Jill Stein and other candidates will still be around in 4 years and you can vote for them then-- and she’ll lose then, but maybe, with another 4 years of Biden, we’ll have laws protecting womens choice, supreme court nominees that aren’t conservative lunatics, and forward thinking stability. So you vote 4 years from now we’ll be on more solid ground in the event you cause a Republican to win.

    If you vote for her now, and Trump wins as a consequence, you might not ever get a chance to vote again. (only being a little dramatic).

          I know. I just can’t take it some times. I swear they must be bots. I really should just ignore/block them instead of losing it like that. C’est la vie.

            Well i appreciate the backup anyway. It’s a lonely slog talking truth in election season. Hard to keep sanity what with all the propheads parroting, as you say. So what I’m saying is it was nice to see, even if you’re not happy with the content of your comment.
