    It’s funny how a “nobody party” that supposedly poses no threat can stir up so much anger and frustration. The replies and responses to this article suggest that some folks might be more scared than they’re willing to admit.

    People don’t get this worked up over something they truly believe is irrelevant.

    I’m not even voting for Stein—I’ve shifted my support to Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, who aligns more closely with my socialist convictions. But I still support Stein’s fight to break the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on this country.

      It isn’t funny at all, and you know exactly why but tap dance around it in a blatantly obvious attempt to maintain credibility. It isn’t the green party we care about at all. It’s the threat their idiocy increase of a Trump presidency. Were approval voting the method, or electoral college abolished your constant bombardment of this parties every pitiful mention in the news would at worst be simply ignored.

      But you know this as dozens of people have said this to you one way or another in your brief, pointless existence on here.

        Oh lookee there, a “tap dance” accusation—yet another move to discredit those who dare challenge the two-headed snake of the duopoly. It’s amusing how those who claim to be so unbothered by a “nobody party” spend so much time and energy attacking it.

        If the Green Party is as insignificant as you claim, then why the endless hand-wringing? Could it be that deep down, you’re just a bit worried that people might finally be waking up to the stranglehold your precious duopoly has on this so-called democracy?

        But you know this as dozens of people have said this to you one way or another in your brief, pointless existence on here.

        If my existence here is so “pointless,” it’s curious how riled up you seem to be. And for the record, I’m not even voting for Jill Stein anymore, yet here you are, still fired up. Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why a “pointless” voice bothers you so much.

          Do you honestly expect us to care who you ‘claim’ you’re voting for? And thinking this is ‘riled up’ is just another example for others to see of your clear refusal to argue reasonably. Bonus points for continuing to tap-dance around the actual issue by complaining about tap-dancing accusations. Well done.

            Wow, it’s almost amusing how desperate you are to protect the duopoly, lashing out with every trick in the book.

            Ya know, the fact that you’re so focused on discrediting any challenge to this rotten system makes me wonder if you’re secretly working for Trump or something, trying to keep everyone in line while the two-headed snake continues to strangle the working class.

            Your attempts to paint me as unreasonable only reveal how terrified you are of genuine change. Keep playing your game—I’m still not voting for your candidate. Whether you imply my claims are false or not, it won’t change my stance.

              Alright, that was the third chance I magnanimously gave you to snap out of this loop of nonsense you seem to be stuck in. Have fun fighting a lost battle with whomever decides to entertain your futility at this point.
