Green Party nominee Jill Steins recount effort is nothing more than a waste of time and energy, as many on both the left and right have noted. But now even the Green Party itself wants nothing to do with Stein.
There are significant electoral reforms needed to make elections more democratic and more representative of the people. While we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein, a statement on the Partys website reads.
The decision to pursue a recount was not made in a democratic or a strategic way, nor did it respect the established decision making processes and structures of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS), it continued.
The Party argues that Steins effort blurs the line between the Green and Democratic Parties given the states that Stein chose to target for a recountWisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvaniaare those that Hillary Clinton lost. Other close races where Clinton won, like in New Hampshire, were ignored.
As a candidate, Dr. Stein has the right to call for a recount. However, we urge the GPUS to distance itself from any appearance of support for either Democrats or Republicans. We are well aware of the undemocratic actions taken during the primaries by the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Greens cannot be perceived to be allied with such a party.
They see right through Jill Stein. She’s a Hillary water carrier and a Democrat plant. Good for the Green Party. They’re lefty loons to be sure, but they know they’re being played here by the Democrats.
“Greens cannot be perceived to be allied with such a party.” .... Too late.... The Shillary bus tour keeps moving along...
...as soon as the word “prison” or “fraud” starts to get mentioned in every story about this idiot ...it’ll die down
Too late and too bad - it has already been done by Jill.
The entire nation sees Jill (and the Greenies) carrying Hillary's water bucket for her.
The only questions left unanswered are:
But not MONEY?
Just a whiff of notoriety will do that to some people.
Another fine example of RAT-on-RAT crime.
HOORAY Green Party members! DEPOPULATE Frankenstein from your body politic.
The Green party is a proxy just like the Libertarian Party is.
Jill Stein is a hack and a plant, just like Gary Johnson and Bob Barr.
Jill and Hill to form the SLUDGER party:
Sore Losing Upset Democrat and Greenie Election Refuters.
Pass it on
I was about to say this would be a victimless crime, but since we’re talking lefties here both parties will assume the role of victim against each other.
