If you want to vote for the man/woman off the street to go into Washington with no experience and shake things up Mr-Smith-Goes-To-Washington style, fine.  I get it.  Go vote for Ben Carson or Donald Trump or whoever.  At least there's an argument you can make that they have some life experience or original ideas or well-thought-out strategies and policies, or personality characteristics, that would make them well-suited to fix Washington or change the way we do things.  But I could probably go to my local bar and find someone more qualified to be president than Jill Stein.  She's not just a below-average presidential candidate or below-average politician, she's a below-average human being.  She's done nothing exceptional in her life at all.  She was a doctor for a few decades and then became an activist and perennial candidate.  She's no more interesting as a candidate than Roque de la Fuente or Jeff Boss or Randall Terry or any of the other minor or perennial candidates who led normal lives prior to their unsuccessful involvements in politics.  And yet, she has 7% in the latest CNN poll, and the big story on her by Politico has been on top of everyone's news feeds all day.

This election is already the worst because of Sanders and Trump, but if Jill Stein becomes a credible threat to make Donald Trump president on the backs of Democrats acting like little babies, I might have to just disconnect, it's too frustrating.  What happened to our society?

Not at all, but I was surprised that she graduated Magna Cum Laude at HARVARD. I for sure would've guessed non-Ivy.

Many of the terrible and stupid politicians of today are the brilliant students of yesterday.  Alan Grayson was also magna cum laude from Harvard.  Bobby Jindal was a Rhodes scholar.  DWPERRY went to Hewitt-Trussville High School.
