I'm not a big Stein fan, but I would definitely take her over Palin. I would take anyone on the left over anyone on the right.

I guess compared to Nader, she's got some Palin traits, but they are polar figures, opposites at far ends of the spectrum.

So, to show how different they are from Republicans, Democrats are now going to start name calling like Grade Three children!
How pathetic.
And a good way to scare off Green voters.
Hope you're not closely tied to the Clinton campaign.
Also hope that at some point on your journey through life you learn why what you've posted here is not only not funny, but juvenile and counter productive to boot.
I would expect this sort of nonsense from the Trump camp, but I thought the Clinton camp was taking the high road.

...of votes that I doubt she can hurt Democrats.

Hillary Clinton is totally taking the high road, but the rest of us can call it like we see it regarding fringe candidates.

I will, however, check with my 38 y.o. Vegan son as to whether he feels mortally offended by the term "tofu Palin." After all, I fed him tofu as one of his very first solid foods when he was an infant. If that will make you feel better.

If they are so blind that they cannot see the utter and systemic real-time threat to global order that Shitgibbon poses, they can fuck right off back to their anti-vaxxer hobbit holes.

It has been 20 years since the the Greens first started running presidential candidates, with Ralph Nader's 1996 run. They've had two decades to organize an effective lefty coalition.

Just what have they accomplished in that time? How many people have they elected, and at what levels? Most of their successes have been at the municipal and county level, but do they have anyone at state level, much less federal? The handful of people who did manage to get elected to state legislatures all seem to have switched to independent or Democrat.

physicially standing with them at the pipeline protests and spray painting a earth pusher.

I think there should be hundreds of horses, they want to help protest the loss of the lands of life. As they are killed, removed- so go we. sunlei 2016
