Green Party townhall thread

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Didn't see one so post thoughts on townhall below

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I loved how the crowd of white people cheered when Ajamu Baraka attacked Obama about how the African American community has been treated under his presidency

[Reluctant Republican]

Stein's voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Stein says ISIS is not a threat and that CIA created Jihadi movements.

[Lyin' Steve]

Anyone want to summarize all the interesting parts?  Was there booing and Bernie or bust foolishness?  Did they make complete idiots of themselves?  Did they get grilled or were they allowed to stick to reissuing their tweets?

[Ebsy]

Anyone voting for Stein should self deport.

They were absurdly atrocious. They have a middle school understanding of every single issue. She literally advocated printing trillions of dollars to forgive student loans of everyone.

[Pyro]

Ajamu pretty much knocking every question he gets to answer out of the park.
Jill not doing bad, but was hoping she would break out of the talking points.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

This just shows what a joke the US Green Party is. Totally bonkers as well as incoherent.

[Reluctant Republican]

Like Weld, Baraka seems better than his running mate at this sort of format. Despite his controversial comments I think he could be a decent choice for them in 2020.

There's always going to be a market for black people who tell white people what other black people are doing wrong.

[Crumpets]

Stein says ISIS is not a threat and that CIA created Jihadi movements.

Well, if they're not a threat then what's the problem with the CIA creating them?

[NeverAgain]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

[Desroko]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

Don't be. She's not a liberal.

[Santander]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

You should be anyway.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

How?

[NeverAgain]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

How?

She presented sane policy positions and took them to the fringe (debt free college, became a 1.3 Trillion bailout, BLM support became any support of the police is bad, etc.). And her policy positions, while not spectacular, weren't really the problem for me.

Her VP called the President of The United States an "Uncle Tom" and called Bernie Sanders a white supremacist. He still believes the first and said the second was said to "help impassionate the campaign". She implied that Clinton sent millions of children into poverty and killed thousands overseas.

The major part is their speaking and answering style, she came off as a naive and scatterbrained, while Baraka came off as snooty (to me at least). My reaction comes from me being closer to them ideologically, yet I felt the town hall was not substantive in the slightest. While both Libertarian Town Halls were informative and actually stayed on the issues not "HILLARY KILLED PEOPLE WITH HER BARE HANDS".

Guess I walked into that one .

[Eraserhead]

They did better than I would have expected them to do, especially Baraka.

I hate to say it but Chris Cuomo did a good job as well. He was pointed when it was warranted but this wasn't a hit job or anything.

[Tender Branson]

She made me feel ashamed to be a liberal.

That's because you are a (neo)-liberal and not a Green.

I think they did fine in the town hall, from what I saw.

But too bad nobody watched it (did CNN even get more than 1 million viewers ?)

Anyway, I'd like to see Stein eat into Hillary's support and Johnson into Trump's - both deserve to be dragged down to 40% on election day ...

[Landslide Lyndon]

Ajamu pretty much knocking every question he gets to answer out of the park.

So you too believe that Obama is an "Uncle Tom president". Good to know.

No words...

You have to be kidding...
