Saying that she has been eager to make the announcement for some time now, 2012 Green Party candidate and physician Jill Stein has announced that she is officially launching her 2016 presidential defeat. “After weighing my options for the near future, I am excited to say that I have decided to lose the presidential election by a substantial margin come 2016,” Stein wrote in a blog post on her website, adding that, despite her desire to have more time with her family and close friends, the allure of a crushing and certain election rout is simply too strong. “I enthusiastically look forward to raising money from you, the voter, spending millions of dollars on a terrific and ideologically sound campaign, going into the ballot box come that Tuesday in November and checking 'Jill Stein', and not even coming close to 1% of the popular vote. See you on the campaign trail!” At press time, Stein added that she fundamentally believed the current state of third party politics couldn’t be more promising for the future of democracy in America.
