In reply to the discussion: In a democracy, are minority party candidates "bad"? Is Stein-Baraka "bad"? Is Johnson-Weld "bad"? [View all]politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)She stated that she would provide free college for all. Free health care, etc. She then proceeded to blame Hillary and Obama for not doing enough to save the planet. She offered no plan on how she would do more than Clinton plans to or that Obama has done. At least the two of them have a constituency that they can draw from. She has not Congressional ties and she doesn't know her way around Congress any more than Trump does. So it's foolish to think that she is going to have any more support for her Green Party Agenda to save the planet than Obama has had or Hillary will have, and they don't have to start from scratch to learn How a Bill become law like she and Trump will.
As far as the Johnson and Wells go, they were bashed by their own party the other day after their Town Hall for not upholding Libertarian Party principals but merely stating that they would reach across both aisles and seek compromise from both parties. The Libertarian Party said that that IS NOT Libertarian philosophy to just go along to get along. The Party was not happy with their candidates performances. So if their own party did not like their performance in their Town Hall, why should we want them.
