      as long as you’re doing so with the full understanding that they will not win.

      So should people only vote for who they think will win? Don’t you think that who you WANT to win is pretty important as a voter?

      Jill Stein winning a single vote in the electoral college is not a possible outcome.

      Because of the line of thinking that people should only vote for who they think will win.

      I personally vote for who I think would be best choice to be president. It’s now about who has the best chance of winning, or who I am afraid of winning. It’s who I would prefer to win. And for me, that’s Jill Stein.

          You are operating with a belief in the way the world should work

          I agree with you. I know I have plenty of ideological naivety, but I believe the only way to change the system is for people to keep pushing for what they believe in. That’s why I’m voting for her.

          It’s a “be the change you want to see” situation.

          It’s also why, as a 55-year-old man, I decided to switch careers and move into education. I work in an elementary school now, making very little money, because I want to help better prepare our children for the future. Instead of just complaining, I chose to take action.

          Yes, I have a lot of ideological naivety, and I’m proud of it.
