Is this the same Jill Stein that ran a doomed campaign and took votes away from Hillary, costing her the election?

STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY! ... Rally with Jill Stein in Detroit...as we rally for democracy, civil rights and a better voting system! End Electoral Jim Crow! Protest Donald Trump and his cronies’ political obstruction to suppress the recount!
It’s time for a voting system we can trust, that is accurate, secure and just!
That counts every vote and makes every vote count!

Coming from someone who probably sealed Trump as President-Elect, this is precious.

Calling for a voting system that:
-we can trust
-that is accurate
-that is secure
-that is just

There are some fringe isatsues, certainly. But to suggest that our system hasn't been trustworthy, accurate, or secure is self-serving hogwash.

That is hasn't been 'just' is additionally absurd.

If anything isn't 'just', its one-man, one-vote. Votes aren't popularity contests. Because if they are we'll get more Populists like Trump -- and fewer people of principle. And in the bargain popular votes will result in more suppression of minority rights. [[After all, its the definition of majority rule that the minority LOSES.)

Fight for wisdom, and reject demagogues like Stein, Trump, and Sanders. Make your representatives responsive to all people. Make them work in a system where compromise is essential. Protect the rights of minority communities at all. Stop one-man, one-vote.

Generalissimo Jill must still think that Russia hacked Michigan's non-existent voting machines. It was all of the computer scientists, one having a name "J. Alex Halderman and voting rights activist John Bonifaz [[not a computer scientist) -- alerted the campaign that Clinton's tallies fell 7% shy of expectations in counties that used electronic voting machines. -CNN" Today, President Obama announced his secret investigation of Russian hacking, probably to emphasize that he did such a bad job protecting national security [[the buck stops where?), that Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea, Assange, and some nerds might have been able to hack our election not to mention Hillary, the DNC, and the OMB's sites massive hacks. We have already had a hint that the majority of Detroit precincts results don't add up. One Detroit precinct had over 200 absentee votes for Hillary and zero for Trump which is also statistically unlikely. So bring it on. This is getting richer and richer.

I drove by Cobo Hall at 2:00 this afternoon when this silly little "rally" was taking place. Little was definitely the operative word. There were about 12, maybe 15 rag-tag "protesters". It was rather amusing to watch the spectacle.

Based on her support numbers that probably sounds about right,meh,as long as they do not block roads or damage others property,have at it.
