    On the ballot in like 14 states? Yeah, I would say her chances are…low. Would be far more impressed if instead of running for President with no chance to win, she ran for a state legislature seat, hell even county board. Encourage others to do the same. You don’t build a coalition or party by just running for President with no experience or support. So she’s either grandstanding, a useful idiot, or so hopelessly uninformed that she’s got no idea what she’s doing. We need better third parties and you don’t do that by trying to “raise awareness” every four years, you do that by running and winning smaller races until they can’t ignore you anymore.

      I’m not voting for her based on her “chances.” I’m voting for her because I believe in her. As is my right to do as an American citizen.

        And nothing I said implies otherwise. My point is that I would be far more impressed if she actually put in the work rather than just grandstanding. But you do you.
