1. That's "Gary Johnson" kinda stupid.

[HughBeaumont]

4. They have at least one thing in common.

They both practically trip over themselves to shit on the Democratic party and absolve Republicans for all the trouble they've caused.

[JI7]

7. she is worse than Johnson on this

[JI7]

2. along with Ben Carson and some others this shows just because

they can be very good at something that requires a lot of intelligence and hard work they can still be clueless about basic things outside that field.

3. Idiot

She reminds me of her songs. Tasteless, stupid, predictable, and badly performed.

[Scurrilous]

5. Oh, the humanum!

[X_Digger]

6. Derp. n/t

[taught_me_patience]

8. This shit sounds deep after smoking about 3 bowls

I want what she's got.

[Retrograde]

15. Yeah, man, look at the colors

It's been decades, but that was the sort of stoned revelation I used to have back when

I'm feeling old: I just realized this is the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love...

9. quod irrumabo, stultus est

[milestogo]

10. I'm pretty sure our world wouldn't change at all, Jill.

11. I can't stand the woman, but Dems do indeed have a lot to learn about messaging and framing.

And speaking in layman's terms. And in taking back the baton. And in bashing apart rightwing talking points. And in beating back propaganda. And in owning the news cycle.

There are dozens and dozens of experts in the field, if only the party would fucking hire some.



But yeah, I hold her in contempt for some other stuff.

[JI7]

12. ?

[Turn CO Blue]

14. Her likely point is that we are dehumanizing people by using mathematical normalization terminology

instead of using a more approachable term. She wants to replace "per capita" with "per person".

I spent half my working life taking raw data and numbers and presenting them to people in ways that paint a picture -- and one of the very first rules for explaining the findings of your data collection or your study is to make sure that your audience understands your units of measurement and your means of normalization.

[hatrack]

13. "What's 'Perk Apita'?"

[MichMan]

16. Did she ever list how much $$ she ended up with after the recounts ? n/t

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. She needs a vaccination for stupid. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

18. To be fair

Not everyone has a head.

[HassleCat]

19. Hmmmm. This is giving me the wrong way.

OK, people are upset with Jill Steim, but look at the number of responses that say, "This is so stupid!" But it's not stupid, not at all. It's certainly not deep, not a big insight, not profound. It might not even be true, since it's likely saying "per person" would not have a big effect. However, comma, we have so many people so eager to jump all over Jill Stein they feel inspired to call this rather inoccuous statement the stupidest thing they have heard in days. So let me paraphrase Stein's question. What difference would it make if we saved this kind of vitriol for Trump?

[Hamlette]

20. This is what happens when you try to sound relevant but you aren't.

what a pretentious, shallow person.

[Scurrilous]

21. Boink!
