It's nonsense to assume that every vote for Stein in 2016 would have voted for Clinton. Most exit polls showed that people who voted for Stein or Johnson would not have voted in the first place. Hillary was a losing candidate from the start.

The first time I voted, I cast it for our green party, not because I wanted them to win, but because I knew they wouldn't win and my vote would have no effect on the outcome. I haven't been paying much attention to politics at that point in time so I didn't have an opinion on who should win. I just wanted to vote to understand how the process works.

This tbh, if we don't want Green votes, make better reasons to them to vote the way you want them to vote. They vote green because they don't agree with the other candidates. They should fix that instead of complaining about it.

Somehow “not facism” isn’t enough for some people

Stein has arranged a lot of good climate protests. Never held office though, as far as I can find.

She got elected to a town council in Lexington Massachusetts. A whopping 539 votes. The only successful campaign she's run.

How you go from that and 5 other failed election bids straight to running for President is not something I know- oh wait, I do. If someone puts you up to it.

Depends on how you define success. She seems to do very financially well on running in national elections every four years.

For political accomplishments, she did managed to get invited to meeting with putin. You can't be just anybody. You have to give it to her.

As for the qualifications, trump showed us that you can do it at your own leisure, nobody will fire you if you won't do it.

Nah this ain’t true. Under political accomplishments it should include “amazing Russian asset”

Having dinner in the same room with papa poopin (and everyone's favorite qanon and traitor, Michael Flynn) and not setting off a Geiger counter is definitely an achievement.

Nothing to see here. Just a quick meet and greet with a traitor and a murderous dictator.
