Even the Green Party Has Turned Against Jill Stein (Who can blame them?

Green Party nominee Jill Stein’s 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 Party’s 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 Stein’s effort blurs the line between the Green and Democratic Parties given the states that Stein chose to target for a recount—Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—are 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.

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:

Just a whiff of notoriety will do that to some people.

Another fine example of RAT-on-RAT crime.

My money says that Stein will be a Democrat soon, and will be running in 2020.

This recount idiocy has given her more name recognition than she had in the campaign. If she can pick up the disaffected Bernie voters that'd give her a base to try to win the Dem nomination.

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.

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.
