14. STRAWMAN: Green Party members have long been welcome at DU, they are our allies.

Aug 2016

Many will vote HRC over Stein. If they are voting for Stein they will be criticized here.

This is not a difficult concept for someone of your intelligence to grasp.

What I see this morning is you putting out a lot of Strawman arguments and pretending that a right-wing predatory capitalist is not status-quo.

You know I enjoy your posts and thoughts generally, but think you've gone a little off the rails today.

You seem to be stuck in Primary mode: this just seems like an oblique 'subtle' way to for you to continue to lie about and smear HRC.

Elevate Stein, Pretend Trump is a 'change candidate' when he is the most status quo of them all: right wing predatory capitalist.

Most DU'ers are able to see through sophistry.
