The Greens have a mostly nice platform that I agree with, but a horrible nominee. Anti Wall Street but owns stock in Merck, Johnson & Johnson, and others. Worth 3.9 million. Not a friend to LGBTQ, otherwise she would denounce Putin and Assad rather than whitewash them. Went to Russia, sat at a banquet table with Putin, and stood up and criticized US human rights violations. No word on Russia’s though. Running mate has done written work in anthology edited by Holocaust denier. Stein has compared Democrats to Nazis in speeches. Can’t actually inspire masses of people to vote for her, so she tries to pick up the scraps from the hard work that Sanders did. Has no actual plan to pass her progressive agenda other than, as she has said, executive order and leaning on Supreme Court — which is a dictator move. One of the things about third parties is that when they get press outside alt publications and websites, it’s usually very surface and focused on the novelty of a third party and how attention is getting paid to it — very puff piecey, rarely looking into the meat. Stein is really benefitting from this. Not real journalistic vetting going on, but her FEC filings are out there, accounts and photos of her appearance at the Russian conference (she brags about it on her website) and the texts of her statements, all pretty damning if you do the work.
