Jill Stein is going to protest outside the Clinton-Trump debate

[progree]

Source: The Week

Green Party nominee Jill Stein was excluded from the presidential debates along with Libertarian Gary Johnson, but she is planning a protest to take place outside the building where the first debate will be held Monday evening. After the "Let Jill Debate" rally, both Stein and Johnson will live tweet their own remarks throughout the debate.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will spend the weekend prepping to take the stage. Clinton has reportedly spent a month honing her answers in practice debates, something the Trump campaign dismissed as the "hallmarks of a career politician who has spent too much time seeking and clinging to power."

I don't know if this is news of great national importance, or just a big national tear-jerker

[George II]

1. What is her position on Obamacare? Obamacare covers psychotherapy.

[CincyDem]

2. She got arrested outside Hofstra during the 2012 Obama/Romney Debate

[George II]

4. She was arrested just a week or two ago, too.

[catbyte]

3. Y-A-W-N...

[geomon666]

5. Is she going to spray paint a wall?

Or maybe she'll graduate to starting dumpster fires or overturning a police car.

[livetohike]

6. Her 15 minutes of fame this election cycle is over. I'm sure she'll

be back in 2020.

[Gman]

8. And she won't lift a finger to do anything to help

In the meantime because she can't be the center of attention.

[Lithos]

27. She is nothing more than a professional candidate

She makes her money from running. Never won an office and seems to do nothing other than "run for office"

Yes, I'm calling her an opportunist and not someone who truly believes in actually doing anything.

L-

[Gman]

7. Wah Wah Wah!!

"
I'm not the center of attention!

[onecaliberal]

9. Go the hell away!

Sore loserman.

[Scurrilous]

10. "Lock her up!"

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Maybe she's worried neither candidate will address the "dangers" posed by childhood immunizations?

Perhaps not enough attention to the crystal frequency-disrupting activities of NASA related to their thuggish moon bombing activities?

[SunSeeker]

15. LOL

[longship]

12. Protest what?

She did not qualify for the debates.

Live with your failure of a campaign, Jill.

[sweetloukillbot]

14. It is an incredibly presidential reaction...

/sarcasm

[christx30]

16. Someone should really volunteer to

take her cookies. Keep her energy up for that marching all alone. "I'm here! I'm Jill! Please clap!"

[wryter2000]

13. Will anyone notice? eom

eom

[cstanleytech]

40. Well lets just say

Probably not.

[joeybee12]

17. ah yes,Jill Stein the one percenter

Because she'll get one percent of the vote

[fleabiscuit]

30. She would have to more than double her last run to get that much.

[NastyRiffraff]

18. Jill who?

Okay, I know who she is, and I don't care what she does.

[RBInMaine]

19. Zero-Qualified Stein can go piss up a rope. And Billionaire-Loving Libertarian Johnson can fuck off.

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. At least Johnson has political experience

Whether it's her, Ben Carson or Trump, I simply don't understand these people wanting start at the top. Run for the House. Run for the Senate. Get some experience in how everything first. But they just go straight to running for the highest office in the land. At least Reagan had been a governor.

[MADem]

36. I agree with that--it's like "I know nothing, but I deserve this job."

And your point about Reagan is valid--he was an asshole and an idiot, but he was governor of one of the largest ECONOMIES in the entire world, as well as a very complex and far reaching state government, more challenging than that of many nations. I won't pooh-pooh the challenges faced by Governor Brown so I really can't be two-faced about the same job when that jerk Ronnie held it. It WAS executive experience (though RR was a 'delegator' to the 9th degree...!!).

The reason people don't want to spend any time at the lower rungs of the ladder is because then they have a RECORD, and they're forced to either run on it, or run away from it.

One of the 'good' things about Trump is his motor-mouth. He won't fucking shut up, pardon my French. This habit of his, to bloviate any time there's a microphone or camera nearby, is beneficial because it has created for him his "record" in his own voice, and it's one he cannot deny.

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. His bloviating also puts in LIE territory frequently

His whole "We're gonna build a wall" blah blah blah

But then "and we're gonna make them pay for it".

And then anyone with half a brain thinks "Excuse me?"

[shenmue]

26. Yes

[floWteiuQ]

20. What Jill and Hillary should do!

The Greens need to sit with the Democrats and hammer out a deal. If the Greens threw in with the Democrats in exchange for some concessions, we might actually get the senate and house back. Stein is a fool if she thinks marching around like a clown makes her feel important. If she wants to feel important and Hillary wants a congress she can work with, they should meet and hammer out a deal. Could you imagine the republican heads that would explode!

[JeaneRaye]

24. Yes, but.....

Jill Stein does have some good ideas, but she only comes out of the woodwork every 4 years to run for President and we never hear from her any other time. Even if she won the Presidency, she wouldn't have any support from members of Congress since she has done nothing to build a base. If she were really serious about her proposals for change, she would try to run for a lesser political office and work her way up the ladder... maybe like Bernie Sanders did as an Independent. She just comes out every 4 years and steps into the limelight, spouts off for a while and then we don't hear from her until the next Presidential election. I can think of a lot better ways to show leadership then vandalizing contruction equipment.

[MADem]

29. Oh come on now--she sashays over to Moscow to kiss Putin's ass on the odd occasion! LOL!

I wonder if the feline or canine fur warming her neck is real? Where is PETA when you need them?

[underthematrix]

32. Jill's parent were Russian immigrants which makes Jill Russian American

[MADem]

34. She's not visiting the family house in those pics--she's attending

a media propaganda event at which Pootie is the featured speaker....

[fleabiscuit]

31. She didn't even get half a percent of the vote her last run. What does she have to barging with? nt

[MADem]

37. The Greens have been working with the GOP to destroy the Dems since 2000.

They want us gone so they can have our slot.

Why do you think so many rightwingers donate to the Greens, and pay for Jill Stein's stupid fucking tv ads?

It's because the GOP knows that the only people weaker than them are the damn Greens.

One more time: Fuck Jill Stein and fuck the Greens. They're spoilers and fools who will lie down with wingnuts to gain "attention." They are a disordered bunch of lunatics who will never ever become a real party until they get some real leadership, not a millionaire pretending to be an everyman like Nader, or a millionaire-suburbanite who crawls out of her mansion every four years to make flaky pronouncements and snuggle up to Vladimir.

There are well-meaning people at the community level who call themselves Greens, but they do not have a party that actually supports them and they are deceived useful tools. The Green Party serves as a demotivator that the GOP props up with faux supporters and cold, hard cash every time they want to skim votes from their Democratic challengers.

[onehandle]

21. She should shut the fuck up and disappear from the public forum.

That's the nicest thing I could come up with.

[MADem]

23. LOL--fuck Jill Stein!

She should go back to her million dollar manse in Lexington and scream about the dangers of childhood immunization, again, because no one cares about her Putin-lovin' approach to politics.

She and Mister "What About Aleppo" have no business on the national stage. Their support is insignificant, and so are their ideas.

[misterhighwasted]

28. Thank you.

[whistler162]

35. and Hary Johnson is wondering what is up!

[spiderpig]

38. Another not-so-bright, not-so-shiny object trying to divert attention to her own sorry self

It's all about her. She should be on Trump's ticket.

[Coolest Ranger]

39. Can she find the right city this time? nt

[MisterFred]

42. Enter hateful, belittling comment here.

Hating on her, hating on her supporters. And why don't they like our party!?

[MisterFred]

43. Bandwagoning agreement with hate!

More hate added on with funny hate picture.

/end thread summary

[snooper2]

46. you mean all 17 of them?

[MisterFred]

54. Belittle, hate! Belittle, hate!

More! We must have more hate!

[Mz Pip]

44. Yeah, that'll work

Make a fuss and somehow the poll numbers will go from 3% to 45%.

Time to hang it up. Anyone who thinks Hillary is worse than Trump needs to get her medschecked.

[Odin2005]

45. Attention-seeking lunatic.

[Rocknrule]

47. "Hey hey ho ho, Wifi and personal hygiene have got to go!

Jill Stein 2016: Healing crystals and Cherokee hair tampons for everyone!

[Sand Rat Expat]

51. LOL

[Blue_Tires]

48. I thought she and her alt-left acolytes were going to storm the building and demand the stage?

man, Jill is getting soft...

[tonyt53]

52. I think the Secret Service might have something moving if they try that. Won't be pretty.

[bigwillq]

49. Cool

It's cool when folks get out and take part in the process. I think folks should protest anything they want as long as it remains peaceful.

[brooklynite]

50. Not sure how close she'll be...they're having us go through security off-site, and busing us in.

I'm sure there'll be TV cameras wherever she is.

[phallon]

53. She admires Putin's nationalism.

[BlueInPhilly]

55. She was escorted out and put in a van
