It's nonsense to assume that every vote for Stein in 2016 would have voted for Clinton. Most exit polls showed that people who voted for Stein or Johnson would not have voted in the first place. Hillary was a losing candidate from the start.
The first time I voted, I cast it for our green party, not because I wanted them to win, but because I knew they wouldn't win and my vote would have no effect on the outcome. I haven't been paying much attention to politics at that point in time so I didn't have an opinion on who should win. I just wanted to vote to understand how the process works.
This tbh, if we don't want Green votes, make better reasons to them to vote the way you want them to vote. They vote green because they don't agree with the other candidates. They should fix that instead of complaining about it.

Stein has arranged a lot of good climate protests. Never held office though, as far as I can find.
Protest that accomplished what exactly? Oh yeah absolute fuckall lol.
She got elected to a town council in Lexington Massachusetts. A whopping 539 votes. The only successful campaign she's run.
How you go from that and 5 other failed election bids straight to running for President is not something I know- oh wait, I do. If someone puts you up to it.
Depends on how you define success. She seems to do very financially well on running in national elections every four years.

For political accomplishments, she did managed to get invited to meeting with putin. You can't be just anybody. You have to give it to her.
"Hardest job in the world"?
please 🙄
I would’ve gone with “most important job in the nation,” personally.
That implies that youcan expect the US president to be able to do a good job. I've yet to hear from a president who actually did du a good job.
Maybe because it's a hard job
No, I don't think that the position is actually able to do good. You could say that being an emperor is hard, too. But I think that emperors are a bad thing to have.in general. Just like presidents.

Why is that? And as a follow up, what would you have in its place?
Not the same person, but my vote is for nothing. No government. Maybe a national workers council during the transition to no government. Before you ask, no capitalism either. Just a library economy with production managed by worker-led unions
It kind of sounds like a confederacy. Also, each union would have its leadership with someone or a few at the top, so what you're advocating for is a confederation of smaller governing bodies, yes?
Also, this isn't a gotcha, but how would you ensure certain unions don't take advantage of their market position? Would there still be national regulatory bodies?
I think you're imagining these unions to be bigger than what they would be. A library economy is where all nonperishable goods are exchanged at a library. There's no market to be positioned in. Each union represents their workplace, and these unions coordinate their production to meet the mutual needs of both communities. The unions have a very narrow scope, limited to what the workers produce and have the right of free association. The work needed to protect the environment would be managed by the entire community based on their ability to do so.

Nah this ain’t true. Under political accomplishments it should include “amazing Russian asset”
Having dinner in the same room with papa poopin (and everyone's favorite qanon and traitor, Michael Flynn) and not setting off a Geiger counter is definitely an achievement.
Nothing to see here. Just a quick meet and greet with a traitor and a murderous dictator.
