Green Party voters are not going to vote Dem or green based on what we say about Stein here on DU

[hrmjustin]

So stop please with the we have to be nice to Jill Stein and Green Party voters meme.

Those fools are gone to us if they care what we post here.

Oh and Fuck Jill Stein and yes I feel better now!

1. Definition of Green Party voters: Slightly more educated Deplorables. nt

[YCHDT]

4. That's' exactly the way its starting to look, people who are slightly less racist or winger like ...

... than the deplorable

[Bradical79]

2. I agree, but somee just need to move on

Face it, she's pretty irrelevant. There's always going to be a Jill Stein getting 1% of the vote, most of whom wouldn't vote otherwise anyway.

17. True. Johnson almost threw the election for Trump, having 3X the votes taken away from the GOP.

.

In every race, Johnson scored three times the votes than Stein, and even more so in the close swing states.

Had Johnson not run, Trump's lead in those states would have been by a hundred or two hundred thousands more.


This false narrative, that Stein cost the election is complete counter-productive bullshit. It's a fact that comes into play whenever there are more than two parties running in an election. And the strange thought that all of Stein's voters would have swung to the Democratic Party is complete lunacy. There are dozens of factors as to why the election turned out the way it did and this false Stein narrative is such a minute component.


Granted, Stein was a Trojan Horse candidate, but that doesn't explain why select Democratic strongholds outside of Philly and elsewhere had droppages of of thousands of voters in each.

3. She was a poor candidate for the office of presidency, I do not look at Stein as the leader of the

green party.

5. The greens are trolls whose goal is to help republicans win

[Maven]

6. Fuck Jill Stein and all alt-left ratfuckers. nt

[ismnotwasm]

9. Yes he is.

[angstlessk]

12. So, no female politician can be called out, no matter her policy or raison d'tre?

Sorry all mankind, and even kittens, for that matter, are subject to scrutiny here, and deservedly so!

[hrmjustin]

13. Do you need a Kleenex?

[ismnotwasm]

8. I enjoy talking shit about Stein

And the assholes who vote third party. When I go on one of my political rants to my husband about Trump--the crescendo is ~always~ about the dumbass third party voters who made him possible.

So yeah, fuck Jill Stein.

14. 2000, 2016...what do they care and what did they reap?

[philly_bob]

15. I wonder how many Stein voters would have voted for Sanders instead of Stein...

if Sanders had been Democratic nominee?

[hrmjustin]

16. But since he wasn't it is a game of what ifs.

[JI7]

18. maybe this guy but it makes me feel better about hillary that she didn't appeal to these types

[elias7]

19. Where are they?

It seems to me the should be great overlap between Dems and Greens, except for the fact that I don't hear from the Greens except during presidential elections when they seem to be choosing to be spoilers. Perhaps they are not getting any attention in media, perhaps they are not engaged enough. I think it's a fair stance to view Steins candidacy as a spoiler, for not seeing the great danger of Trump and pulling all stops to defeat him. I'd make nice with some acknowledgement of a need to bridge idealism with pragmatism.
