"I’ll say it again. Voting for Jill Stein? Don’t.
I would guess that I am in the top 1% when it comes down to my personal green credentials. Friends have told me that my most likely fate will be a family member smothering a pillow over me as I sleep–driven to madness by my efforts to ban the use of the dryer, AC in the summer, central heating in the winter, insistence on LED lighting, complaints that Americans have not figured out how to make energy efficient double hung windows, my loathing of Hummer drivers, and my excitement that from 2025 on, Norway will ban the sale of newly manufactured fossil Cars.

Al Gore: If You Care About The Climate Crisis, Don’t Vote For A Third Party

“In my experience, it matters a lot.”

I used to give large sums to environmental charities, but then I was struck by a depressing thought. What’s the point of hugging a tree if G.W. Bush is President? He and his kin will devote the full force of the US Government to maintaining an energy policy that has created today’s mess and promoting an environmental policy designed to destroy the environment. I felt that I had a higher calling. My “God” (ha) told me that I must tackle the problem at the root. Expose and destroy StupidParty. Therefore to protect the planet, to protect humanity, I had to devote all my energies to taking the Stupid out of StupidParty. I do not really care who gets in the way of this objective–all such barriers must be destroyed even it that means going after a fellow “greeny”— if they are a threat to my planet, my home."

1. blog flogging is really annoying

2. I'm sorry if you're annoyed. I'm just trying to get the info out before election day! n/t

3. Depends on the state

There are strong republican states, and strong democrat states. I don't really care if somebody in California or Wyoming votes for Jill Stein. Everybody knows how those states will fall.

5. You are Wrong

The over all margins in this election are very important. Clinton needs to get as high of margin of victory as possible to have a chance at a mandate and so all votes count. People who think that their vote does matter because they are in a blue state are wrong

6. You think Hillary has a shot at winning Wyoming?

Trump is polling +35 there.

7. The nstiowide margin of victory matters

Every vote counts in the calculation of this margin. A cote os stein or johnson redeces that margin. This is called math

8. How so.

The electoral college is what determines the next president.

9. The nationwide margin of victory is also very important when you look at governing post election

Clinton needs as high of margin of victory nationwide to claim a mandate. Bill Clinton won with 43% in 1992 and that low margin of victory was used to claim that he had no mandate. It is very important that Hillary Clinton break the 50% margin nationwide and the larger her margin of victory, then the better claim to a mandate.

There is no excuse for a democrat to vote for Jill Stein or Johnson even if they are in a non-battleground state.
