Re: 2016 Election
It's a little more complex than that, more against "Big Pharma" than anti vaccine. Whether that's better or not is a different debate.
Is Green Party Candidate Jill Stein 'Anti-Vaccine'? : snopes.com
I do wonder about some of the information on that test. For example, it says that Clinton is anti fracking. Last time I checked she was pro fracking, has that changed?

The only things Stein and I really have in common are environmental issues. But then again, I'm 100% pro nuclear as well, so make of the results what you will. I was 81% Clinton as well, so it was near enough a tie.

Re: 2016 Election
The party (I know it isn't representative of her) has also come out in support of BS like homeopathy in the past. I might be left leaning and I might care about addressing climate change, but I wouldn't vote for the Greens in a million years.

Re: 2016 Election
I've nothing against her, really, on social/environmental issues I'm right with her for the most part. The anti-science vein within her party would concern me, though, even if she isn't anti-science herself - she still has to appoint a cabinet.

Re: 2016 Election
Soooo ... how does one actually get to participate in a presidential poll?
I know the phone polls are random but what about the online polls? I'm talking about legitimate polls like the NYT or WSJ ?

One of those things you can never un-see! I understand the statues also appeared in SF, Seattle. DC, Cleveland.

Apparently the official response from NYC parks department is as follows:
"NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small."
Priceless.

It Ain't Over Till It's Over – Patrick J. Buchanan - Official Website
A good and useful column from Pat Buchanan. I don't think everybody will agree with the whole of it - I don't myself - but it's a very objective piece, which will appeal to those who are prepared to be objective.
