(14,165 posts)How was the recount a scam? She never took any of the money for her parties' coffers. And as far as I can recall, Hillary joined up and she was widely praised in here for that move. What pray tell would she have to gain if the best happened and Hillary was found to be the actual winner of those states? I'm sure we'd not hear a peep from yourself about the evil Dr. Stein in that case.
When did she ever say real change would happen overnight? If I recall the same reactionary diatribe was thrown at Bernie. The first step is simply to educate the public. If no party talks about universal healthcare, it won't ever get to the next stage.
And there is concern still by some scientists about the harmful effects of wifi and cell phone radiation. Studies are ongoing with the American Cancer society only saying that results are 'inconclusive' as of yet. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet
Their are disadvantages of being a party without the corporate strings attached, but there are also advantages in that the are not prone to the same pressures to sweep public concerns under the rug for the sake of pleasing the big telecom industries.
Tell me a lie she has said about Hillary. She had strong opinions, but that is very different from a lie. She called her a warmonger. Fact is Hillary criticized Obama for not being aggressive enough in Syria. She definitely came across as someone who would support using the military more to solve world problems (Libya). So I can see why especially someone who is running against her might use that phrase. She criticized Hillary's close ties with Wall Street. Well she is certainly not the first or the only one to do that.
Besides, my general argument is not that she or any politician in any party would have personality flaws, or the odd out of mainstream opinion. I am speaking more in the general sense of the Green Party itself, or any progressive party. For me I just look at it differently I guess. I don't hate on other people that share my core beliefs just because they don't belong to the same party. I look upon them as allies. The Democratic Party needs other voices from the left nipping at their heels instead of all the nipping done from the alt-right. Where the 'problem' is always portrayed as that the Democrats are too liberal....no matter how far they swing to the right. We need more common sense critics from the left.
