SocraticGadfly: Rabid #Hillbots and the name #JillStein

Rabid #Hillbots and the name #JillStein

Jill Stein wasn't the best Green Party presidential candidate in 2016. I've said that many a time.

I've also repeatedly said the GP isn't as good of a third party of the left vehicle as it could be by any means

But, both are what they are, and Jill Stein was better than Hillary Clinton and the Green Party is better than the Democratic Party where available.

That's why it's fun to watch rabid Hillbots / Clintonistas go even more rabid whenever Jill Stein's name is mentioned. The Mueller indictments last Friday (my take here) plus Twitter's feed on Sunday, are the latest proof.

That's why it's more fun yet to troll the #ImWithHer / #StillWithHer folks to point out Cynthia McKinney 2008, Stein 2012, Stein 2016.

The Hillbots, as this shows, practice a certain tribalist version of feminism and the leader of the tribe is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Elizabeth Warren could have been seeking the Dem nomination instead of Hillary Clinton and her Dem primary backers would have been attacked just as much as Berniecrats.

Suck on it, Hillbots. You know it's true.

Besides, with all the paid trolls of David Brock, you're in no position to complain.
