Vote blue no matter who is a political slogan, not an order with any weight. It's not like people are prevented from voting Republican in any way.
Stein was arrested because she didn't meet the polling threshold to be eligible to be considered as a candidate and then tried to force her way on stage. It's no different than you or I going to hear a band play and trying to force our way on stage because we thought we could play guitar better.
again, it's a matter of interpretation. you making excuses for it would look bad if the prevailing opinion matched mine.
Facts are facts. She was not a political opponent because she did not get enough support to even participate in the debate. She was arrested for breaking the law, not for being a political opponent
she was a political opponent. she opposed them politically and challenged them for election.
She challenged them the same way a fly challenges an F-16.
this is just rhetorical posturing. she had opposing political positions and was denied a platform with others vying for the same seat.
Denied because she had insufficient support to qualify. That's a requirement in every democracy on the planet to be considered a serious candidate.
the United States isn't a democracy
It's a representative democracy. If we can't agree on at least this, then your opinions are not grounded in reality and there is no point talking further.
Denied because she had insufficient support to qualify.
those requirements are arbitrary.
