http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2017/02/08/24857325/jill-stein-is-a-rightwing-toolThere are 46 Democrats in the United States Senate. Every single Senate Democrat voted against Betsy "Potential Grizzlies" DeVos, Trump's newly confirmed education secretary. Senate Dems "held the floor" overnight to protest the DeVos nomination. They peeled two Republican senators off DeVos, coming within a single vote of blocking DeVos and creating a 50-50 tie in the Senate that Mike Pence, in his role as president of the Senate, had to break, making Pence "the first vice president ever to cast a tie-breaking vote for a cabinet nominee."
You'll never guess who Jill Stein blames for DeVos's confirmation.
The Democrats are to blame for DeVos. Not the Republican president who nominated DeVosa president Stein worked hard to electand not the Republicans in the Senate, the overwhelming majority of whom voted for DeVos. No, no. The Democrats are to blame.

OP
Why do we have such an egregious president? Partly because Jill Stein is a tool and a fool.

(297,127 posts)2. Jill Stein Is a Right-Wing Tool Thank you, Dan Savage! Booom! He ends with this..

I have a problem with these fake, attention seeking, grandstanding Green/Libertarian party candidates who pop up every four years, like mushrooms in shit, saying that they're building a third party. And those of us who don't have a home in the Republican Party, don't have a home in the Democratic Party, can't get behind every Democratic position or Republican position, should gravitate toward these third parties. And help build a third party movement by every four fucking years voting for one of these assholes like Jill fucking Stein, who I'm sure is a lovely person, she's only an asshole in this aspect.

Jill Stein is cut from the same cloth as Donald Trump.
Appealing to the fears of the confused.
