Why keep wasting space with the waste of space who is Jill Looney Toons Stein?

[RBInMaine]

This post notwithstanding, why is ink being wasted on a this whacko?

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. Yeah, especially when folks vote in Paul LePage-types.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. She is the face of the Greens now, and fading hope for the Berniacs...

But yeah, she's nuts.

[Bucky]

3. DU is wasting zero ink on Jill Stein

but the electrons... oh the millions of electrons that died for that candidate...! My heart bleeds.

[villager]

4. OP felt it worthwhile to squander some of those same electrons... nt

5. Consensus on a similar post yesterday

Ignore her. Don't give her effort any notice or free press.
We can't afford a 2016 version of Gore v Bush with her in the role of Ralph Nader.

6. Some people need something/someone to hate

So they engage in Scapagoating, which is exactly what the Jill Stein obsession is rooted in.

7. The negative treatment of Stein is not unwarranted.

She's an attention-seeking, utterly unqualified, career also-ran.

8. I find the vitriol puzzling

I think some folks just don't come with an off switch.

9. The Green Party platform supports homeopathy

and Stein has said that one of Clinton's first acts as president could be to start a nuclear war with Russia.

The vitriol is warranted. She's pandering to idiots.

Edit: I stand corrected. The GP is apparently removing the homeopathy plank from its platform for this fall. Maybe there's hope for them after all.

[AgingAmerican]

10. So it supports homeopathy?

Well, that's worth going berzerk over!



Vitriol is a sign of weakness, IMHO, and those who engage in it transfer power to the scapegoat.

11. If you want to support Stein, go for it.

Just don't do it here.

[AgingAmerican]

12. I don't waste my time thinking about her

...because she is a non entity and has no effect whatsoever on the big picture.

[TwilightZone]

13. Right, that's why you keep posting in these threads about her.

[grossproffit]

14. ZING!

[AgingAmerican]

15. I have posted nothing 'about her'

Because I know nothing 'about her'. I post in these threads because previously we only saw this sort of mindset on the right. When I see same within the Democratic party, I take notice.

The GOP's obsession with Sean Penn is a good example of scapegoating.

The Sandra Fluke controversy is another good example of it.

16. Same reason space is "wasted" on Chris Christie or Sarah Palin.

She is effectively a Trump surrogate.
