#StillNotJill

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. ]

Not an unreasonable reason to want to vote for Hillary. And it did not rely on an appeal to lesser evil. (It does mention the idea, but not in any terms other than there is actually a difference between the two parties.)

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.

Oh, please, don't act like this conversation is happening in a vacuum. For the past year I've watched you repeatedly harp on the young Bernie supporters while espousing the exact lesser than evil strategies that have gotten us into this mess. Your generation has sold out an entire country and you keep trying to shift the blame to the disenfranchised people who are realizing that sooner or later people are going to have to fight and suffer for their economic security. You offer no solutions, seem to be completely oblivious to what's happening outside you're own little sphere of existence, and have no historical awareness what happens when an entire class of citizenry become so disenfranchised they find themselves with no civilized options left available to them. I don't want to see the world burn, I want avoid what's happened in ever other fucking country throughout history that has already stepped down this path. Excuse me if I don't have the patience for your ignorant, shortsighted, get in line, narrative.
