quote [ For weeks I’ve been following the debate as to whether Stein is a pseudoscience peddler, wondering if there was any truth to those who claimed she was being unfairly characterized as anti-vaccination and anti-science. I’m not wondering anymore. ]

I think what some of our younger, more obstinate friends here fail to fully appreciate is the immediate, often dire consequences of accepting the greater of the evils. Or that sacrificing short-term compromise for perceived long term greater good can bite you in the ass, hard- and that long term greater good might still never come.
Or, as Seth Meyers eloquently put it-
Hey! A Message to Bernie or Bust Die-Hards

Also, I'll state for the record that for all of Hillary Clinton's faults, both real and imagined, the issue of reproductive rights alone is enough for me to cast an unequivocal vote for her. Not to diminish the importance of income inequality, money influencing politics, hawkish foreign policy, etc etc, but the freedom to decide one's own physical destiny is pretty damned fundamental. Anyone struggling to justify their decision might want to consider this.

Still, I will not be. But I do think people swept up in being rightfully pissed off with the DNC need to strongly reconsider getting behind Dr. Jill Stein.
