Nice to know the Green party is in Hillary's pocket.... Of course you know if by some miracle they find enough votes to make Hillary President the entire world will know it's a sham....

Something is wrong when a candidate has over 2,000,000 more votes and loses the election

It is also wrong to exclude Jill Stein and other candidates from the presidential debates.

There is an excellent reason for the way we elect our President... The Electoral Collage is one of the greatest parts of the constitution. Remember we do not have a straight democracy, we live in a Republic. Where the majority cannot step on the minority.... I'd give you a class on the EC but you would still not understand why it is still necessary....

As for the debates I tend to agree, but then what about
LIBERTARIAN PARTY

CONSTITUTION PARTY OF THE U.S.:
INDEPENDENT (NO PARTY
PARTY OF SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION
REFORM PARTY USA
SOCIALIST PARTY USA
SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY

And about 20 others that were on some ballots this year....
