The Green Party says it would rather have the provocateur, Trump, to deal with than the anesthetizer, Clinton.

Note that this is not an endorsement of Trump (or Clinton). It is a calculating analysis of which of two evils would give the better chance for subsequent improvement.

I am not sure whether I agree with the analysis. It may have been true in 2000, but the existence of Sanders and his movement will limit Clinton's power to anesthetize in the next few years.

But even supposing that analysis is still valid, I take a less Machiavellian approach to the question. I do not wish a worse president on people merely in the hope he will create unrest. I think things will be much worse in any case.
