Jill Stein Has All The Proper Enemies
And having all the proper enemies is the greatest endorsement for which anyone could ever hope. It was sorta surprising to see the snarling lies break out just as Sanders was getting on the Clinton bandwagon. It was almost like it was a coordinated effort up and down the media establishment from outlets as embarrassing as the big papers all the way down the empty-headed gossip kids on the internets. Stein could not be allowed to gain any traction with the folks for whom Sanders was an acceptable candidate and Clinton was not. That says something, both about the weakness of Clinton and the attractiveness of the Stein campaign. The far-right nativists and racists and other complete fuckbrains always have Republicans running and seeking their votes; this year they have their idiot king Donald Trump. The reactionary neoliberal establishment always has Democrats ready to follow every order, but somehow the center-left and left in the United States never have viable, attractive candidates to vote for. Funny that.
