Ok-you have to start somewhere. I'm sure you were saying the same when Bernie was polling at 1-2%.

Bernie was running against ONE person. The green party is trying to run against the two MAJORS plus Johnson-Weld who CNN just gave another free evening of publicity with another "libertarian town hall."

The green party screwed it up by putting that guy on the ticket. He will lose as much support for them as he could potentially add. Green party might get close to 5% of the popular vote but won't sniff debate qualifying status and if they don't get in the debates... (and with trump acting like an infant, there might not even be any debates)

Speaking in 2014 on U.S. involvement in Iraq, Baraka characterized U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East over the previous 20 years as "disastrous" and said that "what has occurred in Iraq was predictable."[7] He has asserted that the United States has intentionally supported ISIL, saying "It's very clear that ISIS could not have developed in Syria without the direct and indirect support from the U.S. and its allies in the region, and that ISIS was in fact carrying out, and still carrying out to a large extent, the agendas of those powers."

It's hard to give him credit here for being smart as this is pretty much just common sense but it would seem that others are lacking even this amount of common sense.
