    The problem with your statement is stein will never rise in the polls enough to threaten the duopoly. The best they can do is distract. If they really wanted change they would ignore presidential races and push for different voting methods down ballot.

      If Stein and others like her will never rise enough to threaten the duopoly, then why the fury over her running?

      The very anger people have shows the fear that the two-headed monster feels when its grip is challenged, even if only by a small percentage.

      As a socialist, I stand with her efforts because every voice that speaks out against the status quo helps crack the foundation of this corrupt system.

      If the duopoly had done its job, there wouldn’t be such a demand for alternatives. The fact that they haven’t is exactly why we need voices like Stein’s pushing back, whether it’s in the presidential race or down ballot.

        There’s no fury. Just occasional commentary. Stein is barely a footnote because she doesn’t do anything to fix the problems you’re bringing up.

          The replies and responses to this article sure does suggest that some folks might be more scared than they’re willing to admit. People don’t get this worked up over something they truly believe is irrelevant.

              And I respect and support their right to disagree with me. As you respect and support my right to disagree with them, right?

              Also, please refrain from personal name-calling and lets keep this civil. There are civility rules in this community for a reason. Do you really have to call someone negative names to get your point across?

                  It’s not victimization to let someone know that they don’t have to resort to name-calling, friend. I’m not a mod here, I didn’t come up with the civility rule. If you have a problem with that rule or the mods, feel free to reach out to them with your concerns.

            These posts are doing a little more than providing your agitprop a space to die by a thousand cuts. Adults don’t get “worked up” over taking out the trash.

              If my posts are just “trash” to you, it’s curious that you’re making this effort trying to take them out—seems like the only thing dying by a thousand cuts is your own argument. Best of luck to you, friend.
