RE: Green Party Leader Jill Stein Demonstrates How To Waste Other People's Money With Zero Skin In The Game Herself
How politicians behave during the election shouldn't be all that different than their behavior in-between elections.
I think Jill Stein's support of this recount is no surprise. The people who collectively agree in her are willing to financially support causes she gets behind.
As an aside - wouldn't it be nice if all votes were 100% verifiable by default?
I agree but wish Jill Stein would be more responsible when raising money for this investment.
Her donating followers are putting faith in her judgement that their money will be well spent which I believe is not the case and I wonder if she's really convinced it is.
I wish all votes were done with picture I.D.'s would be a great start.
For the purpose of argument - lets say that she misspends the money.
The fact that she is able to raise it by promoting election integrity says a lot about the state of the nation. America wants verifiable voting. A large percent of people didn't vote. I suspect those people largely believe their vote didn't matter or it wouldn't be counted.
I agree with your statement. I just don't agree with her raising and spending the money unless there is smoke there. Not everyone who gives to her cause is financially well off and some think she is smart enough to know there's good cause. The Trump campaign barely had a fully functional ground game vs. the Clinton campaign. I think voter fraud would be way above their pay grade compared to the Clinton team. We are talking/looking for over an additional 107,000 votes here.
Thank you for commenting, I enjoy having conversation outside of my usual group of friends and family.
That's actually a big component of my argument. I fully believe that the voting process in the US needs serious reform. Two candidates who are vocally disliked by a large fraction of the country were the only options.
If you're looking for smoke - look at the hugely manipulated pre-election polls and vast differences in exit polls vs results. That's smoke and I (among many others) want the fire doused.
