Yes, but that's not really related here. He got one delegate's vote at the Libertarian convention - probably some sort of protest vote by the delegate. That just means he didn't get to be the Libertarian party's nominee. But you don't have to be a party's nominee to be a write-in candidate, you just have to have filled out some paperwork ahead of time. Presumably Vermin Supreme will have done so, although that's just a guess.
Maybe, I'll think about it, anyway to bring this back to the topic, I gleamed through the thread that Stein's been accused of promoting homeopathy, is there evidence of this or is that just a part of the whole Green Party platform?
True, I may as well right in Mr. T at that point then.
Well, most states require the write-in candidate to have registered, so if you want to feel-good of your vote being counted, you have to at least write in an actual candidate.
Cause she at least has some ideas I agree with (even if she's got a bit of woo going on) and I'm not even sure if I can vote for Vermin Supreme.
Almost all states allow write-in candidates, so you can vote for whoever you want.
Why does it matter if Jill Stein has some ideas you agree with? Neither she nor Vermin Supreme are going to be president, their ideas will have an equal impact on the way the country is run.

I'm seriously considering voting for Stein on the grounds that she's the candidate I dislike the least and because I want to vote without voting for Hillary or Trump. I realizethat might be a bad position to take but at the same time I don't really want to sit out this election.
Why Jill Stein and not Vermin Supreme?

It's an unfortunate sentiment being echoed. Finding the candidate that you dislike least. That isn't how the presidential race should be really, you should have a more positive opinion on who you vote for I think.
I know but it's really difficult when all of the current candidates have one thing or another that I would majorly disagree with but there's literally no other option and, as far as I know, there's nothing in the constitution that says we can get a do-over (short of all currently nominated candidates suddenly dying).

How much have you looked into Jill Stein?
I know her positions generally but I have dug too deeply yet (and this thread has been helpful). However I also concede that she's not the best and she is extremely unlikely to make it into office. It's just I don't want to do nothing this election yet at the same time, I can't say I'm at all behind the other candidates.

But didn't Vermin only get like one delegate?
