Longtrail, A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump,

but I think you know that. Your comment reeks of

fascist rhetoric that all is lost and no one should bother to vote. That’s a dead givaway that you’ve got an agenda to take down democracy.

Most Americans know better than to be influenced by the likes of you.

You're totally wrong. There's nothing you can do to change the system and take back the government from the Plutarchs and Oligarchs. You don't get it. We live in an ILLUSION of democracy created by Plutocratic and Military Institutions. AIPAC🇺🇸🇮🇱 owns FDT, FKH and Fkn Congress

Oh I get it. But there ARE things we can do to change the system. Getting rid of democracy is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Money has corrupted the system. More specifically, republicans

have used money to corrupt it and exploit voters.

We shouldn’t have to buy the government we want every two years. Voters can’t match corporate donations every two years endlessly. It’s a corrupt process that exploits voters.

If people would stop voting for republicans long enough to pass legislation that takes private money out of the election process and allow only the use of

public money for campaigns, it would solve a lot of our problems.

I'm not throwing democracy out with the bathwater. I want to return to true democracy which is government of the people, by the people for the people. If only the constitution is followed instead of circumvented we'd be on the right track.

Currently the election system is rigged by the PAC's of both the D and R Parties. In every state where Open Primaries are on the ballot those parties do their damnedest to kill it. They control the system on behalf of

AIPAC🇺🇸🇮🇱 who owns them. They are the Deep State and the Plutarchs who serve our oligarch rulers.

Democracy is mob rule. This is why the constitution defines our nation as a Republic. An example of democracy is a sheep and two wolves voting on what to have for dinner. The same example applied to a republic is the sheep has a gun. In other words, in a republic the minority still has a voice.

Capish?

Susan, GTFOH. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for JILL STEIN.

Go ahead and be a sheep for the duopoly if you wish, but don’t expect the more intelligent of us to follow your sorry-ass example.

Bullying me isn’t going to stop me from writing what I think. That’s why we’re here. If you don’t have anything rational to add to the discussion, you can, and I say this with respect—get lost.
