Jill Stein: Vote safely for ‘greater good’

Choosing between which evil candidate to support for president can be hard. Every election I smartly go with the "lesser evil" candidate, but this year it's not clear. Long nights with my friend Jack and Jim (pouring out a drink for my dead homie Democracy) making lists and point systems together comparing relative evil and I'm still unsure. How do you even assign points for Clinton's integral support for bombing Libya, turning it into a terrorist stronghold and living hell? How many evil points do I assign the racist, sexist, nationalist bigotry of Trump and his vitriol on everyone who is not a Trump?

Fortunately, polls prove that who is more evil is irrelevant. Clinton is going to win with the help of the Libertarian spoiler, Trump's idiocy and establishment favoritism.

That means I safely can vote for the greater good, Green Party's Jill Stein.

Jill Stein is like a better Bernie Sanders. Sharing his positions, she is stronger on things like eliminating student debt, which I am drowning in. Plus, Jill Stein getting 5 percent of the vote, gets the Green Party huge access to future ballots.

My dead homie Democracy isn't coming back. Our revolution is for the U.S. to birth a new democracy. Jill Stein is a step in the movement for people, planet and peace over profit that will have more struggles for Democracy on the streets than at the polls but both are important.

Who knows, maybe Jill Stein actually wins! Wouldn't that rock?
