Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s candidate for president in 2016, is seeking the atheist vote.
Earlier today, Stein responded to a tweet from American Atheists President David Silverman asking if she would openly seek the support of atheists.

Silverman tweeted:

@DrJillStein, do you want the #AtheistVoter? Will you ask for it?

Stein responded that she would seek the atheist vote:

I ask for the votes of everyone in America who upholds people planet and peace over profit – including atheists.

Just a turn of phrase. I'm an atheist (and a Canadian). She can't have my vote anyway.

... so she won't get my vote by only appealing to the atheists!

I'm kidding about the atheist appeal, but I can't vote for her anyway. I wouldn't even vote for Elizabeth Warren, who I like a lot, if I thought she had no chance as a fringe party candidate and a vote for her would be like a vote for Trump.
