    Yeah… they suck… but-

    They’re visible. Which is better than what any third party “candidate” has been doing. Speaking of, what’s Mr. West and Mrs. Stein been up to since November?

    I guess all those important issues only mattered if they got elected.

      That’s a fair point about the minor parties. Then again, I have seen Libertarians try to do valuable things at the local or state level in various places. I’ve never seen a Green Party candidate for school board or city council.

        Nope. I haven’t either. Last I heard, Stein was cashing in on a few dinner speeches.

        What’s funny though? We tried to warn all the freshmen that this has been done before by the exact same clowns in the exact same makeup in elections past…

        They were too busy calling us names to bother listening. And apparently, now- they expect us to kiss their asses while we work with them on their grassroots movement bullshit to bail us out of the problems they wouldn’t even do the bare minimum to help stop.

          I made the mistake of voting for her in 2016, before I realized that Nader didn’t really retire. He left in disgust at what the party became. Granted, I live in NJ, so my vote basically meant nothing, but it’s still a mistake.

          That was before Stein’s theatrics about the debates, too. How anyone could seriously support her after that confounds me.

            All it took was a movement they could all anger each other with. That’s all it takes every election. It’s something that gives them all a reason to be manipulated.

            The right’s best tactic is dividing the left. They’d never win against a unified front.

            Lucky for them there won’t ever be one. These clowns are already warming up their pitchforks and templating their “I won’t vote for [bLuEMaGA cAnDiDaTE]” memes. Hell, a lot of them are calling AOC a centrist. LMAO!
