While I very much dislike how our country's voting process works, I do not like presidential candidates addressing how presidents get elected. If a president had an impact on how the president gets elected, you end up with Putins and Erdogans.

If I were to really want Jill Stein to win, but if she can't win, I'd put my full vote for Hillary Clinton, because I don't think Trump should win- I as a voter should have a way to indicate that in a democracy.

Without proper democratic voting we might as well choose candidates at random, as at least that would provide a chance of the majority electing a candidate they preferred.
