Don't really care for the guy, but on this matter i agree 100%. He nailed it. tonyt53 Jul 2016 #1
He really did! Haveadream Jul 2016 #2
What issues does he not pass muster on? Loki Liesmith Jul 2016 #8
In the past he has been tone deaf on some LBTQ issues Haveadream Jul 2016 #12
Actually, he got it 99% right. GoCubsGo Jul 2016 #122
Not that good. He called Greens "liberals," Hortensis Jul 2016 #129
So, if Greens aren't liberal, what are they? GoCubsGo Jul 2016 #137
My main point is Green does not mean liberal. Hortensis Jul 2016 #138
Plus, Jill Stein is about as detestable a person as a progressive can be. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #3

Omg! She did that? LynneSin Jul 2016 #83

Are we sure Jill Stein isn't a Ralph Nader clone? GoneOffShore Jul 2016 #142
How so? nt SylviaD Jul 2016 #45
Those comments about motherhood the other reply mentioned, for one. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #58
You may be right but... SylviaD Jul 2016 #100
That could be. As a politician, she shows the worst traits of a Trump, with a cleaner mouth. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #101
Yep, well said! Her Sister Jul 2016 #4
Dan Savage hits another home run. (nt) Paladin Jul 2016 #5

Great point, sufrommich! Haveadream Jul 2016 #9
Alfred said it best NWCorona Jul 2016 #11
How easy is it to watch the world burn from within our 'fire-safe house' LynneSin Jul 2016 #39

Lot of extremist intellect scrambling in that sphere. Hortensis Jul 2016 #131

+1! Isn't it odd seeing "vote your conscience" being used as cover for not doing the right thing? BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #23
The Greens or Libertarians or any other third party bigwillq Jul 2016 #31
I've been jumpy Ellen Forradalom Jul 2016 #34
I don't believe Nader was the reason Gore "lost" bigwillq Jul 2016 #43
You are correct. avaistheone1 Jul 2016 #70
Nader lowered Gores vote by taking votes Demsrule86 Jul 2016 #88
Gore did win but Nader made it possible for Bush to steal the election.He was a part of allowing kerry-is-my-prez Jul 2016 #125
The Greens and Nader are the reason for Gore's loss. Demsrule86 Jul 2016 #87

If you don't live in a swing state TexasBushwhacker Jul 2016 #144
Why won't the Greens put effort into local government? RandySF Jul 2016 #15
They want to complain, not be in charge. If they're in charge, they'd have to BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #20
Stein certainly fits that description Haveadream Jul 2016 #28
They actually do that. redwitch Jul 2016 #36
They were doing that for a while Ellen Forradalom Jul 2016 #38
+1, It takes way less effort to complain than to actually be "progress" uponit7771 Jul 2016 #116
K&R! sarae Jul 2016 #21

One guy Demsrule86 Jul 2016 #91
is this the same D. Savage who claimed those who opposed the illegal invasion of Iraq TheSarcastinator Jul 2016 #42
So your argument is he was wrong about one thing once so he can never be right even when its obvious stevenleser Jul 2016 #52
Keep up those Trumpian tactics, you savvy strategists! TheSarcastinator Jul 2016 #57
Calling what I said "Trumpian" doesn't mean anything. nt stevenleser Jul 2016 #66

How fucking embarrassing, that Trump has even a fraction of a chance of winning arcane1 Jul 2016 #54
That's easy to answer. The Republicans spend years beating up the most prominent Democrats stevenleser Jul 2016 #56
I also have friends blaming Dems for what the Republicans do! Delusional. bettyellen Jul 2016 #110
Just saw your response. Hard for me to attend anything these days. stevenleser Jul 2016 #121
Even more embarrassing and dangerous are the number of Americans who actively support Trump Haveadream Jul 2016 #102
