Jill Stein had a little bit of a mute problem during her opening statement, but eventually fixed the problem.
There was no script for tonight’s debate and there is no replacement for the opportunity that technology has given to break down the barriers of political participation. Governor Gary Johnson, from a hotel in Laramie, Wyoming got through an internet connection issue and some audio feedback from Dr. Jill Stein in Seattle, Washington. In due time, the technology smoothed. The former Governor of New Mexico covered NDAA, white-collar crime, and other huge issues that go largely undiscussed in the conventional dialogue. Dr. Stein gave articulate answers and communicate an alternative vision from the two “mainstream” presidential candidates.
But what was most important in the debate was the common respect that Governor Johnson and Jill Stein gave each other: Recognizing common agreements, articulating alternative answers rather than personal attacks, and allowing each other to finish their sentences.

It was interesting. I could live with Gary Johnson. Great use of technology, it won't quite level the playing field but it does give them both a chance to get their ideas out there.
Well done. Both very classy candidates. I wish them nothing but the best and hope both get the 5% they need to get government funding in the next election.
Who cares? Neither of them are players in the election.
I see that you are a fan of the Red Team vs. Blue Team stupidity that holds this country back. Which brand of corporate puppet and big government expansion should I vote for?

I am a realist. The stupid ones are the ones that throw away their vote on someone who has a zero percent chance of getting elected. In 2000, some preferred Ralph Nader to Al Gore but Gore was by far their second choice. So they voted for Nader in Florida and they ended up with eight years of Bush. Had they voted for Gore, they never would have had all the policies associated with Bush, including the Iraq War.
