Only indirectly, in the sense that by taking away votes that would otherwise be Dem votes, which in turn gives the America-destroying GOP more power. The chief problem with the Greens is that they're effectively a vanity party. They serve as a means of giving liberals a feel-good vote that lets us avoid acknowledging how broken our society is.

Hillary nets only 11% of Stein's voters.

And the reason why Richmond, CA (population 100k) doesn't have a Green party mayor? She was term limited out of office.

I just knew immediately that this was a BRTD thread without needing to check the author of the OP. Smiley. So many obsessions, so little time.

Jill Stein might be a Russian puppet, but I'm doubtful that the entire party is a puppet. Could be wrong, but idk. I'd also say that it's more of a Russian Government puppet if anything (as opposed to the United Russia party).

Yes, but you won't convince BRTD of this, he has a pathological hatred of anything green, which is why he can only see it's opposite, red, all emotion and no logic.

If all the Russian government can muster is a ridiculously irrelevant third party, then they're hardly a threat.

No, but Stein's willingness to cozy up to Putin is disgraceful
