But Hillary isn't a Republican.
Was Eisenhower the same kind of Republican as Lincoln?
Was FDR the same kind of Democrat as Jackson?
You're getting hung up on labels.
In the fall, you should vote for the party (whatever their name) that will move the country the direction you want it to go given the reality of American politics and the American political system.
Jill Stein has lots of good sound-bites, but she's got some insane positions as well:
* We are in state of emergency; not state of recovery. (Jan 2015)
* Romney & Obama are both pro-1% big corporation. (Feb 2012)
* Cancel college debt: it's now $35,000 per student. (Jan 2016)
* Move school decisions from national to grassroots level. (Dec 2011)
* Moratorium on GMOs until they are proven safe. (Jun 2015)
* Term limits end guaranteed re-election & lifetime incumbency. (Jul 2015)
* Earmarks grease the skids for corruption. (Jul 2015)
* Affordable Care Act is neither Affordable nor Caring. (Oct 2012)
* ObamaCare was step backward for goal of single payer. (Jan 2012)
* Disarm North Korea as part of worldwide nuclear disarmament. (Jul 2015)
* Guaranteed jobs for all who need work. (Oct 2015)
* Tea Party hijacked by funding from major corporations. (Mar 2012)
* Dems & GOP are both sinking ships; one just sinks faster. (Feb 2012)
Even if you think she's the best candidate, recognize that she would have almost no support in Congress and would be unable to get almost anything enacted. (An election that resulted in Stein being elected over Hillary wouldn't give Stein any coat-tails.)
Purity kills. Vote Team D in the fall.
FWIW.
Cheers,
Scott.
