5. Have green supports read the Constitution? If no one gets 270 EV then the House picks the next POTUS

Lets say in some sort of alternate universe Stein wins New York and California. Nobody would have 270. The Green supports are delusional to think the House Democrats or Republicans would support them. The way we vote for President would have to change to make any 3rd party viable. Or be able to win seats in Congress. In other counties 3rd parties are able to win seats in their national legislator. Instead here, 3rd Parties only become spoilers or protest votes because these people are too lazy to work their way up through the system.

We gotta not only take the Obama coalition and do a rinse and repeat of 2012, but we have to expand it to include more Hillary voters. I think Hillary will do better with Whites overall than Obama did, plus we have to take the Obama coalition folks and make sure they get out there.

9. it's both that need work. The primary see has shown that less people

Voted for Hillary this primary than they did in 2008. Her vote total this primary was one million less voters. That's a lot.

Exit polling has shown that the fastest group to disappear from elections was the Obama coalition, and when they did vote this primary they typically voted Sanders.

She needs to find her mission one million and then find a way to bring the Obama coalition back.

10. Stein is desperate, knows her second failed campaign is likely her last.

Unless the Greens really are insane and believe that trying the same thing over and over will produce a different result.
