Here is what Jill Stein says about our nominee:

"Right now we have a real chance to change our rigged political system, and we must not squander this opportunity by pledging allegiance to a corrupt political insider who the majority of Americans do not like, trust or believe in."


This comes straight from her website in her "Response to Bernie Sanders' Endorsement of Hillary Clinton."

Rather than bashing Trump and the Republicans, like Nader she bashes and bashes and bashes the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton with overblown ridiculous rhetoric.

SHAME ON THIS ROTTEN PERSON for perpetuating the LIE that Hillary Clinton is "untrustworthy" and "unliked." Hillary came out of her term as Sec. of State with a 60+% approval and won her second election to the Senate in NY with 67% of the vote.

Then when she started running for president, the corporate media played the email story over and over and over again to get headlines and created a caricature. The email story is complicated, and the media distorted it and like Bill Clinton said, "We have never seen so much about so little." So that is what happened.

Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy, and this rotten person Stein is feeding the corporate media and right wing LIES about a woman raised by a mother who was an abandoned child and father who was a US serviceman and small business owner. She is trashing a woman who has fought her heart out for kids, women, and the LGTB community at home and around the globe.

SHAME ON THE ROTTEN PERSON WHO IS JILL STEIN. She is the classic example of the POWERLESS FRINGE. I know someone who is VERY progressive and went to the join the Green Party. He said they were COMPLETE FLAKES and he left with a massive stench in his nose. Gee, after Nader and now Stein, I can see why.

I kind of liked them as a college kid in the 80s. But this is ridiculous.

9. That you seek to support the Greens instead of supporting Democrats makes you part of the problem

You don't need to rely on your local offices to support Democrats or the nominee. You can network through the national campaign, you can hang flyers or put in free/low-cost ads and look for like-minded people in your neighborhood and nearby areas and develop strategies on your own to organize and support Democrats. There are hundreds of things you can do to support Dems before supporting our opposition and Trump.

Stein ads with some regularity. Wonder who is buying them. They are appearing in several states. Wonder how she is affording this.

Rove is my first suspect, given his stunts with "American Crossroads" during the primaries.

The DU Terms of Service make clear that we support the Democratic nominee. Presidential elections in the United States are a zero-sum game in which other candidates must lose in order for the Democratic candidate to win. We are competing with Jill Stein and Gary Johnson and Donald Trump in our effort to win the presidency. They are our opponents.

11. Stein is a hateful asshole and a quack, leading a bucket of gutter-snipes and puritopian grifters

How's that?

She even stooped low enough to criticize Hillary as a mother - ON MOTHER'S DAY.

Nasty, nasty vermin, that woman is. As are those who support her.
