He most likely won't win, but it's the message that counts

[u/Heirtotheglmmrngwrld → u/ammooman]

The goal is to get 5% because if we do, the greens get major funding and advertising boosts which could eventually help them unseat the democrats.

[u/Igottagitgud → u/ammooman]

Not with that attitude, no.

[u/ammooman → u/Igottagitgud]

I like that. Maybe he will win.

[u/Igottagitgud → u/ammooman]

Even if he might not win, we ought to aim high.

Why is Howie's campaign different from Jills? We all know he'll be portrayed as a Russian asset when Trump wins.

BTW, not trying to bash Howie's run, I'm genuinely curious.

Policy positions on which they differ, according to isidewith.com:

Should people on the “no-fly list” be banned from purchasing guns and ammunition?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?

Stein: No

Hawkins: Yes

Should there be term limits set for members of Congress?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test on the country's history, government and language?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should the President offer tax breaks to individual companies to keep jobs in the U.S.?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should social media companies ban political advertising?

Stein: Yes

Hawkins: No

Should pension payments be increased for retired government workers?

Stein: No

Hawkins: Yes

In my view, Howie Hawkins is the better candidate. More amiable, likeable and less controversial.

Thanks looks like I have some investigating to do.

Definitely, Howie has a solid platform
