    That is literally my point. Ignore them until they seem to want governance as opposed to only seeing them in national headlines tilting at windmills. It’s worthless.

    If you like Stein’s platform, voting for Stein will decrease the likelihood of you ever seeing such a policy implemented. If, say, a state rep. runs on a Green platform, they would likely get my vote.

        Cool. I really hate the English use of “you” when “one” is really the word one wants. But when one uses “one” as opposed to “you”, one sounds crazy.

        I honestly think a lot of online defensiveness arises from this construction.

        I’m saying, it sounds like I’m saying “you need to do blah cuz you’re wrong about blah”, when I would prefer it to be read as reiterating my earlier point of “if one wants to see Green policies enacted, one would do well to ignore Jill Stein.”
