  • I think you are completely lying. I was on here a lot promoting Stein, and getting extremely opposed by you and everyone else. Fuck off with this "i just wanted an answer" innocent BS

    • I'm not lying at all.

      I literally could not vote for Stein. Did you not read what I wrote? Do I need to show you the Indiana ballot and prove it to you?

      • Oh im well aware, of the democratic campaign against ballot access and write-in permission for the green party. And you are too, and I think you participated in it. You didnt just recently show up, youve been on here the whole election cycle. Before primaries, before these decisions were made, fighting against any alternative to democrats.

        • I didn't fight anything.

          Again, I asked over and over who I should vote for that had a good chance of beating Trump. That was my number one reason for voting.

          I did not get an answer except one guy who said Cornell West, which is laughably wrong. I apparently didn't ask you if you would have said Jill Stein because that has been laughably wrong multiple times now.

          I can't help it if people can't get their act together and give me a name. I'm not going to pick one out of a hat.

          • Whoever you and everyone else say cant beat trump, cant beat Trump, because its an election you decide the outcome of. Unfortunately, people decided no one can beat trump.

            • Again. I asked for a name. I asked for months and months until the ballots were finalized.

              No one except the Cornell West guy gave me one.

              If you think people should have voted for Jill Stein, her campaign apparently didn't think Hoosiers should. All they had to do was fill out a declaration of being a write-in candidate to get on the ballot and they didn't do it. No one did it. You could have done it. It's a two-page form. And it's somehow my fault that I didn't and couldn't vote for Jill Stein when no one even suggested I vote for her in the first place?

              So, again, I can't help it if people can't get their act together and give me a name.

              • Man you already dropped the act saying names you were given, including Stein, couldnt beat Trump. Stop with the lies I know I told you about Stein

                • I'm not lying about anything. And, again, how was I supposed to vote for her if her campaign didn't bother to fill out a two-page form?

                  Why would I want to vote for someone who's campaign is that lazy anyway?

                  • Youre doing this weird straddle between feigning ignorance, and also knowing the tiniest details about why you're fighting against Stein (but pretending you're not). I never heard about a form to fill out to be allowed to be a write in candidate. I assume you, like the Green Party, are finding out after the fact. Because you cant be that dense, you cant really think they were just too lazy to fill out a 2 page form. Like, you know they filled out a ton of forms, submitted mountains of petitions. Forms created and intentionally obfuscated by democratic and republican state legislatures to inhibit third party participation.
