    This was really well written but I fear the people it needs to reach aren’t going to read far enough to get the point.

      It misses the part where Jill Stein is completely full of shit. She’s in bed with Trump and Putin.

      At least Nader was genuine.

    I too voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 but for different reasons. I too regretted it. If you are waiting for the ideal candidate that 100% aligns with your beliefs you’re going to be waiting a long time.

    Well it likely wouldn’t have changed anything on stem cell research. Induced stem cells are a thing and despite plenty of research we’re still quite far away from really being able to grow them into whatever we want.

      And yet research was blocked for quite a few years for religious reasons. You may be comfortable with where we are now but what if we were ten years ahead of that

        Me being comfortable with the state of research and the fact that having more cell lines would’ve likely done nothing for our current understanding are two different things. The frank truth is, we’re far from even understanding how epigenetics factor in differentiation between induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic ones and which one is better for getting the results you want. The expense of the medium to grow the cells and the fact that it takes a month to see results of what you’re doing, the economics, is far more impactful on why we haven’t seen progress than the availability of cell lines.

    Florida was a super close call. Most states won’t miss a few votes, or even a lot of votes in some cases. I’m not advising anyone anything, but I know some people will be making this calculation, and I think it may be the only way to get some new cards on the table.

      Are we just supposed to ignore how the Supreme Court handed Bush the victory when Gore won the election anyway?

      Reality often proves liberals wrong but this is just getting ridiculous.
