    Shouldn’t Jill Stein be busy giving HJs to her GOP masters by now? She did her job. Everyone has dropped the act. Don’t know why she’s still out here pretending to be a candidate.

        She’s not a threat, she’s running a spoiler campaign to siphon votes. She’s deliberately exploiting a system to affect an outcome.

        That’s like me showing up outside your house and job and plastering “UniversalMonk wants to diddle your kids” posters everywhere. Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant if someone believes the bullshit and subscribes to the idea.

        Being a threat would actually take effort to run a real campaign with real ideas.

          She’s deliberately exploiting a system to affect an outcome.

          Then that sounds like Democrats think she’s a threat. If she wasn’t a threat, all of that would be a non-issue. I mean, they have spent money on new ads against her. If they didn’t think she was a thread, they wouldn’t have done that.

          And to your point, if you did that to me with your signs, I would definitely view you as a threat. Regardless of your motivation or the falsehood.

        More like pre-emptive blame shifting. Jill Stein voters aren’t going to win or lose this election.

        People who vote for her would just stay home and not vote if she wasn’t on the ballot.

        The issue is Palestine. It’s one of the things young voters mostly care about. And the administrations position on it isn’t going to draw out voters.
