    Vote blue no matter who is a political slogan, not an order with any weight. It's not like people are prevented from voting Republican in any way.

    Stein was arrested because she didn't meet the polling threshold to be eligible to be considered as a candidate and then tried to force her way on stage. It's no different than you or I going to hear a band play and trying to force our way on stage because we thought we could play guitar better.

      again, it's a matter of interpretation. you making excuses for it would look bad if the prevailing opinion matched mine.
