Fr, funny how these alt-left mfers love democracy except when it turns out their candidate just doesn’t have the votes. If Jill Stein couldn’t win a majority of left voters via a primary, then how is she going to win a national election? And why can’t these alt-left parties ever start grassroots movements at the local level, instead they only care about presidential elections and just want to skip the endorsement without winning any primaries, and if they can’t do that then they take their ball and go home?

Because, like I said, they have no ambitions of political influence. Only virtue-signaling and purity-testing.
