good segment. He clearly laid out that Stein hurt the dems trueblue2007 Sep 2017 #1

@$!# Jill Stein. Scurrilous Sep 2017 #2

Exactly. But not her voters. We need them. Gore1FL Sep 2017 #12

There are far far more non-voters out there. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #14

I agree. We need to get the non voters active. Blue_true Sep 2017 #18

We need them, too. Gore1FL Sep 2017 #20

I doubt Stein voters in 2016 are ever gonna vote for Dems radical noodle Sep 2017 #15

They still have points of view worth hearing nt Gore1FL Sep 2017 #19

Really? Why? radical noodle Sep 2017 #24

Because their views are worth at least as much as those on the other side of the 50 yard line. Gore1FL Sep 2017 #26

They can have all the views they want but they radical noodle Sep 2017 #28

No they do not. BzaDem Sep 2017 #31

You cannot complain they they do not vote for us Gore1FL Sep 2017 #34

One may however, simultaneously observe and complain. Which is precisely what was done. LanternWaste Sep 2017 #59

They cannot simultaneously fall into two opposite categories. They are not Schrodinger's voters. nt Gore1FL Sep 2017 #75

That doesn't make sense. People complain about Republican voters all the time. n/t BzaDem Sep 2017 #71

How many expect them to vote Democratic, complain when they don't Gore1FL Sep 2017 #76

They claim they are on the left, and prefer progressive policies. BzaDem Sep 2017 #79

Putin thanks you. n/t Lil Missy Sep 2017 #54

Don't be an idiot. I voted for Clinton. Gore1FL Sep 2017 #77

I have no interest in hearing anything from these fools not even a little bit. They have no say. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #57

That is why we lose. nt Gore1FL Sep 2017 #78

We lose because we keep trying to win over people who determinedly choose to Ninsianna Oct 2017 #81

No, hell no. I (thought I) was using her own words to show... VOX Sep 2017 #43

They can fuck themselves...this was a very close election...I doubt we will see another one like it. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #56

If our brand is damaged, we need to fix it. Gore1FL Sep 2017 #69

Bet your friend's daughter don't feel like a fool today. Blue_true Sep 2017 #21

Chris said the Russians had ads on facebook supporting Stein and against Hillary. wasupaloopa Sep 2017 #5

ANY Democrat who had doubts that Stein was a filthy ruskie mole .... LenaBaby61 Sep 2017 #6

The only question is whether Stein was a knowing tool for Putin or an unknowing tool. TomSlick Sep 2017 #7

I know that the Green Party Skidmore Sep 2017 #8

I'd never vote for a Green Party candidate for Potus Gore1FL Sep 2017 #22

Stein is a Russian collaborator and possibly a Russian colluder. democratisphere Sep 2017 #10

It's out there now. Rachel did a hard hitting comprehensive program tonight on Russia... Hekate Sep 2017 #37

Sanders names Cornel West, Keith Ellison to DNC platform committee TomCADem Sep 2017 #40

Cornel West endorses Jill Stein and says she not Hillary Clinton is the 'only progressive woman TomCADem Sep 2017 #41

West came to mind immediately. Skidmore Sep 2017 #42

Video here: ehrnst Sep 2017 #46

Sounds like the news made Jill Stein angry, LOL! WTF? Madam45for2923 Sep 2017 #47

The report says they did ads for Bernie too even AFTER the nomination was made. Eliot Rosewater Sep 2017 #50

I remember people advocating for writing Bernie's name in. Bet they were behind that. n/t pnwmom Sep 2017 #52

Is there any evidence or indication in there at all... vi5 Sep 2017 #51

Jill Stein voters are not the reason Hillary lost. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2017 #60

Look again at WHERE Stein got votes 6000eliot Sep 2017 #62

I did look at where she got the votes. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2017 #64

Perhaps try looking a little harder then? BzaDem Sep 2017 #72

In all of those states, plus the others I named PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2017 #73

What evidence is there anywhere... vi5 Sep 2017 #68

She's an easy target. progressoid Sep 2017 #63
