Quote:For a week, Jill Stein was everywhere that the Democratic National Convention was not. The Green Party's likely candidate for president made drop-ins to a four-day Socialist Convergence at the Quaker meeting hall, rallied "Bernie or Bust" protesters outside the gates of Philadelphia's sports complex, and sat for interview after interview.

When she sat with The Washington Post's Sarah Parnass and Alice Li, Stein explained her stance on something that had flared up during a Reddit AMA. Did she think vaccines were harmful...

Anti-Vaxxer (or at least playing to such tin foilers)? Good bye credibility. Sorry Greens, you have a useless candidate.

Reading the actual article, I don't know if her views on vaccinations sink to the level that I could not support her. I'm not sure about her views on Syria either. It's some cause for concern on both counts. I could not vote for an anti-vaxxer, obviously. Just appealing to cynicism about government, when the Obama administration is reasonably competent, is not very helpful. I dunno, should I look at the choice between Hillary and Jill as a choice between the lesser of two evils? That would be ironic.

Given what the Green Party's base is, this idiocy is not surprising.

Political violence, anti-vaccination crusades, that the elder Bush messed around with boys, Holocaust denial, David Barton's "godly America" thesis, "scientific" creationism, that 9/11 was an inside job, or that Barack Obama is not an American... it all similarly discredits one.
