How? When she is never going to be President and doesn't want to work 'within' the corrupt system. Hard to fix it online.

Johnson can win libertarians, conservatives, and moderates, maybe even some social liberals. Stein and the greens will only win environmentalists, progressives, and liberals. They simply don't have a large enough support group.
I agree with much of the Libertarian point of view, particularly in regard to the giant cancer of government that has become an entity that only cares about its own growth regardless of how it destroys the lives of its host, the American people. However, the candidates themselves remind me too much of the same ole politicians and as with Bernie, I am voting for the candidate not the party.

Jill Stein can't fix it. Only the people can! I stand with the future of my child.

Yes, our political system is the literal definition of insanity. If Green Party gets 5% of the vote they get federal funding. We have to start somewhere, and I am never again being a participant in the insanity that is choosing one evil over another...

It took awhile but those outside the 68 Convention finally accomplished many of their goals.
