I would choose the one closest to my views that was most likely to win so they could actually do something about it.

Well, that's why I said "all things equal." Holding a good opinion over the long term is certainly a pro, but it's far from the only thing to look at when choosing a candidate.

Oh, well, if Assange's heterosexual life partner Glenn Greenwald says it's 100% false then I'm sure it must be some other old white lady. They all look pretty similar to me.

Maybe he should correct Jill Stein that she wasn't actually in Russia and didn't make a speech on the same exact stage.

Someone on my FB feed commented that, "in the back of my mind, it occurs to me that Russia is fomenting revolution in the US for selfish military reasons, but I don't care." I agree.

That the man posts this after fundraising for the poor, martyred Matt Bruenig (who did nothing wrong except say nono words to Neera, evidently) and in the midst of his monthlong concerntrolling about neoMcCarthyism is truly purestrain irony. Like Ollie North, but entirely about internetdramas.

"Then there was Sedinam Kinamo Christin Moyowasifza-Curry, a long-shot Green Party presidential candidate who regularly interrupted the proceedings to proclaim that the primary had been rigged against her. Anytime someone mispronounced her name or refused to repeat it in full, she would halt the proceedings with a yell. Rather than shut her down, the party secretaries typically yielded to pressure from the crowd not to muffle anyone’s voice, no matter how out of order they were. They made Reince Priebus seem like an exemplar of command and control."

There was the roll call vote, a disorderly and poorly managed process that, even by the standards of this year’s sometimes raucous and discordant conventions, was an utter poo poo-show. When the very first delegate, a white gentleman from Alabama, stood up to deliver his state’s votes, many in the crowd booed him. “THE GREAT WHITE HOPE, HUH?” one delegate yelled.

It's possible to imagine that the energy and organizing experience brought to the Green Party by the Bernie Sanders people will help the party — but it’s just as easy to imagine that the energy of the Busters cools and dissipates in a party with few resources and not much of an organizing background. As Ndgo laid out plans, some of the Greens in the room, older folk who’d been with the party for a while, seemed uncomfortable. The new Buster clearinghouse Ndgo described seemed “bottlenecky,” one Green delegate from Massachusettes said. Ndgo turned the conversation to a brainstorming session. What other organizing ideas did people have?

A man in a full formal green Army uniform jumped up. “I started a GoFundMe account. I haven’t gotten any donations yet,” he says. “I have lots of big ideas.” He had a friend who made banners, and he planned to go to Dallas-area highway overpasses and put up signs. The first: “‘Clinton is a terrorist.’ The next overpass, you’ll see ‘Trump is a pedophile.’ The third will say: ‘Jill Stein is a doctor.” The room cheered.

Ndgo’s eyebrows jumped up and down. “Banner drops,” she said. “That’s an idea.”

But there were also a lot of people at the convention with credible and considered political beliefs, who held nuanced positions about Clinton and Trump, and had thought at length about their involvement with a third party. They don’t tend to get heard much.
