Jill Stein craziness

[flyingfysh]

I've always had a hard time understanding why some on the left think that Stein is a better choice. She holds some opinions that mark her as a fringe candidate. She says things to attract the anti-vaxx people, such as the idea that the vaccine approval process is corrupt. She has also some out with the bizarre idea that wi-fi is dangerous, with no evidence st all. I am amazed that a few said they would vote for Stein instead of Hillary.
I much prefer candidates who understand science, such as Bernie or Hillary. We can leave the crazy talk to the Republicans

1. I know that they don't hand out MDs at the door....

but between her and Ben Carson, one has to wonder.

11. And hers is from Harvard!

Does she think that wi-fi is avoidable? It's everywhere.

13. As I post this on my iPad

I can no longer imagine life without it

2. I want to know why anyone thinks she's qualified other than agreeing with her positions?

I mean, Gary Johnson was at least a multi-term governor.

It really shows a true cult of personality, that if you are smart enough to commandeer a minor political party in this country, you can declare yourself your party's nominee and get a band of clueless political newbies to follow you.

3. Well, I have no interest in Stein certainly, but I would question whether Bernie...

...Sanders actually understands all that much science.

I'm pleased he lost to Hillary.

As a scientist, I've been very unimpressed with some of his rhetoric. We have, on the left, lots of rhetoric that is scientifically out to lunch.

4. It is part of her secret plan to Stop Trump by helping Trump win

Stein is a big ole mess of contradictions and does not appear to think anything through. Another example is her running mate. She wants to attract sad Bernie primary supporters, yet her running mate is on record saying horrible things about Bernie and even more horrible things about Bernie supporters. Bernie does not meet his narrow purity test.

I like many things that the Green Party stands for, but leadership like Stein are just off the wall.

I expect a fair number of Green voters will vote Democratic for President

5. Ben Carson proved to me that a medical degree, competent in science, and sanity are not synonymous.

Jill Stein, yea.

6. Where is she getting the dough for her TV ads?

The Republicans?

[bettyellen]

10. yes, GOP supporting super pacs are funding her

7. One would think that W's Ivy League degree would have put into question the whole notion

that getting a college degree means anything.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Democrat/Independent who understands science

[LWolf]

9. I'm thinking

that this is a strange place to try to understand.

Anybody who could explain, meaning those that actually think she's a better choice, can't tell you why without violating the TOS, so you won't hear their reasons.

All you'll get is an echo chamber of DU hate, because they're the only ones who can respond.

12. I used to think all MDs were smart until I met

A Doc who had moved to a remote area north of Atlanta to get ready for a race war. This was in 1975. He was a loon
