RE: Green Party donations up ~1000% after Sanders endorsed Clinton

No, I really don't think anyone is in a panic over the Green Party. From the link:
Quote:According to US Uncut, the Green Party has received over US$80,000 in contributions since Tuesday and over half of those came from first-time donors.
Which would mean that Ms. Stein now has a war chest of about US$88 000. This amount of money in a contest where total expenditures are expected to exceed five
billion dollars is roughly the equivalent of attempting to take down an aircraft carrier with a poorly sharpened stick.

What it shows is more symbolic than anything else. Her social media premise is also way up, as are the amount of Google search for her, as one article shows. Social media did wonders for the Sanders people.
Hilary is at a real risk of losing the election. She thinks making cringy jokes about the game Pokèmon Go will get young people to vote for her. She's so out of touch. People find Hilary uninspiring and they are fed up of voting for the lesser of two evils.

I vote green too. I'd be interested to see how similar the American party is to ours.

Is an ant that has grown by a factor of 10 ready to tip the scale in its own favor against the donkey or elephant?

This is kind of like a church with 1 member gaining 100 members in a year, then proclaiming they are the fastest growing church in the world.
Jill Stein still stands no chance of winning a single state. I like Jill, don't get me wrong. I voted for her in 2012. In fact I've often voted for Green Party candidates... when one was available as a choice. But the Green Party still isn't quite viable. If I knew Trump had no chance at winning, I'd certainly vote for Stein. But I know that Trump has a shot at winning, and Hillary needs all the votes she can get. Trump winning would be a disaster on so many levels. Especially as far as Supreme Court Justices go, and those stick around for a long time after the taste of Trump gets out of your mouth.

The attention they got in 2000 when they gave us George W Bush wasn't enough?
