Remember the people who were saying we should be nice to Jill Stein?

438. Yeah they are. Let me explain how the two party system for president works.

In Parliamentary systems, people vote for multiple parties and then after the election they build their coalitions. In the U.S., the requirement to get a majority of electors creates a two-party system for president. We build our coalitions before we have the elections. This means liberals (such as Sanders did this time, and even Nader did in the past) run under the major party affiliation and the vote. (A Conservative example would be Libertarian Ron Paul running as a Republican in the GOP nomination contest). Greens are part of that coalition.

Candidates who run as third party for president, miss the point and are never successful. In lower races, the third parties ultimately caucus with one side or the other.

That's why we should be civil to members of our coalition and bring them on-board to vote for the Democratic Candidate.

Why is being uncivil so important to you?
