I am not big on 'guilt by association' photos, but we've got three folks here who working hard to get Trump elected and Democrats defeated.

Jill Stein is a GOP operative and a spawn from hell...what kind of person wants to elect Trump?

Recommend you keep both feet on the ground so they don't lead you into a relationship with the Greens.

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

Perhaps it's this forum that's causing some people to imagine the otherwise-obscure Greens as a dangerous national force?

My best guess, anyway. I only mention this because imo there are silly numbers of beware-the-Greens posts here. For laughs, yes. For serious, get real. But of course, we're all free to elevate our chosen enemies to whatever importance we want. And certainly for some the closing of the GD-P forum has left an enemies vacuum.

Millions of people always reject the mainstream candidates. I at least concede the votes of the unhappy fringe are their own, though. I'd just prefer they not be encouraged to actually vote by people who mislead them into feeling relevant, instead of leaving them to stew in their real impotence.

but hatred and discontent and endless smears of the Democratic party means anything except to a few internet trolls and general malcontents.

Jill Stein will not be the next president. The race isn't close enough, so far, for her to be a spoiler. Now if the race reverts to Shrub/Gore like numbers, there's a problem. But the only one I see now are purity voters who think, since Hillary's polling is so good at the moment, they can indulge their third party vanity vote without helping to elect Trump. Actually, I think that's probably why Stein is polling at 5% right now according to CNN's poll of polls. If the race gets closer, look for that 5% to drop considerably.

We have, however, a lot of down-ballot races to win, and some Green voters are potential allies, or already on our side.

Jill Stein's in it to brag about running for President, and to sell T-shirts and books.
