Were about any of those characters, I might well ask the same thing.
And most Americans know those folks. The Green party and their candidate is unknown to pretty much 95% of Americans.
I think the greens are nutty, but I think the same thing about one of my uncles. And I hate neither one of them. I truly think it strange we spend so much time 3 months before and elections on the green subject.
But I realize I am new here and still have a lot to learn about the dynamics of the site. A site I love, by the way.
Have a nice evening.

Yup. Since Bernie asked his supporters to back Hillary, they've become unhinged.

There seems to be a lot of people arguing that we must remain a two-party nation.
