    You don’t have to be a fan of Jill Stein or even third party politics to recognize how poorly the Democratic establishment has squared up against this administration. It’s certainly something worth addressing for up-coming primaries if we want candidates who can pull back third party voters. Shoving it under the rug isn’t going to make it go away, and will ultimately lead to more third party voters.

      The point is that there isn’t a third party. Jill Stein is a Russian agent. She’s paid to take votes away from Democrats, so that Republicans can win.

      A Multi-party system is superior. I would like viable options as well. However, ZERO third parties in the USA are genuine. None of them. They’re all ruses, fakes, lies, plots…

        Interesting point, but what on earth is it doing here? This post and the comment you replied to have fuck all to do with third parties. Is this going to just be the standard boiler plate reply to every criticism of the Democrats? “Yeah but Jill Stein…”

          The usual centrist assumption is that anyone who doesn’t love everything corpodems do is a trumpist. This is a very slight improvement.

        Just like the first and second parties, then.
