I dug into her positions last election, she was bad then. She’s aslo killing the Greens, as the % of the vote she got in 2012 is lower than any one who came before her.

Well, she's right. I mean, just because Kaine has always followed the law, supported choice, and has a 100% rating from NARAL, doesn't mean that, in office, he wouldn't overrule Clinton, and decide to appoint a bunch of anti-choicers to the bench. The massive power of the vice presidency can do that to you, you know.…

“I know, Republicans were once a 3rd party.”

She has astoundingly bad critical thinking skills. From an interview w/ Salon:

I was bugged by how Stein constantly tried to lure Sanders into joining her. Her only political experience is that she served as a Lexington, MA town meeting rep. for two years - I guess that qualifies her to possess the nuclear launch codes.

This is my all-time favorite Stein tweet.

Jill Stein seems to be a candidate with literally no integrity. She complains of electoral malfeasance by the Democrats than tells Bernie she’d happily hand over the Green Nomination (which she only has presumptively won thus far).

If you are going to seriously evaluate her policies, which really isn’t all that necessary, her waffling on vaccines is a much smaller issue than the theories she is using to push her “Green New Deal”.

my humble advice to the green, libertarian, or any other third party: win local elections or shut the fuck up. you can’t show up every four years with having accomplished next to nothing and complain that you’re not on the presidential ballot.

Another reason why the Greens are manifestly unqualified to be in power — their dearth of down-ticket candidates. Building a third party without starting at the lower rungs of the latter is impossible, and hitching your movement to a quixotic presidential bid every four years just shows you to be an unserious…

Yeah, pretty much that’s the reason I started digging a bit deeper into her positions. And then I realized that she’s genuinely an awful person, and I started reading her Twitter feed and looking at other statements she’s made, and she went from “Well, I’m sure she’s a perfectly lovely leftie” to “Jesus Christ, this…

Not just anti-nuke, but claiming we can switch to 100% renewables (without nuclear power) by 2030. Which is just... not even remotely possible. I’m a climate nerd, and I want to see action, but her plan is absurd.

I got a 10 comment lecture (10 paragraphs apiece) about this (mostly non-sensical) and "educating me" because when I said historically 3rd parties don't win (to partially explain reluctance to vote 3rd party in an election where Donald Fucking Trump could conceivable be president) what I meant was in recent history…

If Jill Stein had any intention of actually doing anything other than running a vanity campaign every four years until she dies, she’d actually try building a political career by getting elected to something - anything - else. The fact that you only hear her name every four years says everything about her character…

This election cycle has turned me into a Democrat.

I feel like this is a safe space for me to rail against the Green Party (and all “third” parties in the U.S.) for a second.

Any doctor that vacillates (and especially on record) on something as basic as vaccines should be stripped of their license for spreading misinformation. Her statements ar shameful, not just for a physician but also for someone who aspires to be able to set forth policy that could affect millions of folks.

I got in the middle of a FB thread about 3rd party voting and cited her wishy-washiness on vaccines and I got several semi-heated responses and I quickly punched out of that thread because I’m too fucking old for social media squabbles

Oh good! I mean I didn't need a reason to vote for Clinton but it's good to know that just in case I did, there is no viable alternative. Anti vaccine and anti gun control are two positions that can drive me to a red eyed fury faster than just about anything so thanks so much for clarifying your position Dr. Stein!

Just. Vote. Clinton.
