Is Jill Stein qualified to be president of the United States of America?

[DS0816]

Yes.

[fhtagn]

She meets all the requirements to run for President, so yes.

Plenty of folks that most wouldn't consider "qualified" run, in fact, one is the Republican nominee.

I'd love for the Jill haters to come up with how she is any less qualified than someone like Donald Trump.

[Clark Kent]

Absolutely not, and neither is the rapist.

FWIW, I don't think Trump is remotely qualified either.

[Maxwell]

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.

[Badger]

Of course not. Don't be silly.

[Lincoln Republican]

For President, no, but she would make a good Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Whoever panders to the anti-vaxx crowd isn't fit to be elected dogcatcher.

When did she do that?

So basically, vaccines don't necessarily cause autism, but they may cause... capitalist sympathies?

Her comment wasn't very long, if you want to read it it wouldn't take very much time out of your day, I promise.

I did read her whole response. I just didn't want to post the whole thing since I know that gets some websites all up in a tizzy.

Based on this quote, Jill seems to be suggesting that, while vaccines are safe, there's a lot of distrust of the medical industry and maybe instead of declaring everyone whose anti-vaccine as literally Hitler, it'd be more productive to see why they're distrustful and address that if we want to actually do something about dropping vaccine rates beyond feeling smug about ourselves. Not sure where she's pandering to anti-vaxxers, especially given that she presents lowering vaccination rates as a problem that should be fixed.

No, demonizing anti-vaxx nutjobs is perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged.

Morally, sure, but it's hardly productive.

[President Johnson]

Absolutely not, and neither is the rapist.

Wow, I didn't know that the only other well-known male candidate, Gary Johnson, is a rapist. Really? Or do you mean TRUMP? No, just kidding. You just can't be talking about Big Don.

[Intell]

God No, no-one in the Green Party is, Johnson's more qualified, and Johnson's a f*king libertarian.
