Now that, ladies and gentleman, is a thoughtful and rational approach.I took a good look at the Green Party and found them unready for leadership. The party either needs to attract experienced mainstream politicians like Bernie or they need to grow at the grass roots. I listened to Stein and could not imagine her as an effective leader of the country. And so could not vote for her. I'm not able to deny what you just said about yourself but if I take your words at face value, you say Stein would have been a good president. OK, so "better than Trump" would be accurate. But she was unready for office. Didn't deserve my vote.
I support the Green Party locally because that is the best way to grow a third party organically. It's a long term proposition and am willing to participate, watch and wait for the time when it is a viable party for national offices. Stein was not, nor was Nader when he ran under their banner. Why didn't Bernie jump ship? Probably because he didn't feel the Green party was ready either. And he wanted to make a contribution that helped his cause not hurt it by splitting the party at a crucial moment. Which Bernie babies did anyway.
