I side 70% with Jill Stein


I saw Stein on either PBS or C-span recently and was somewhat impressed so I looked up the Green Party. Their platform is absolutely monumental in size and specificity- awesome in it's explicit and clear and exhaustive content! I don't agree with all of it but I remain positively impressed with the work and thought that went into it.

Now I see that I side 70% with Jill Stein. Of course she has no chance at all, but it is good to see a third party that is so well organized and perhaps, with some modifications and compromises (to MY specifications ), a viable party in the future.

I have never heard of Rocky Anderson so I will be looking him up as well.

One thing is for certain, you know exactly where the Greens stand on every issue under the sun!

I agree, they may eventually become a viable Party, heck the way the Dems and Repubs are going they may become the Major Party before we know it. It would be a refreshing change IMO

I just took the 2012 election quiz and found that I side 95% with Barack Obama, especially on Science, Social, Economic, Environmental, Healthcare, and Foreign Policy issues.
No surprises here!

Humorously, I placed almost exactly the same in my percentage of agreement with the Libertarian party and the Green party.

Slightly lower than that was Mitt Romney and slightly lower than that was Barack Obama.

Fairly accurate poll as I tend to believe parties are wrong about roughly half of everything they believe.
