Having lost Sanders as a valid choice in this election, Stein is my next favorite.
Her perception that Trump is a lesser evil than Hillary only reinforces my understanding of Stein's sound judgement....

If Stein said that anything is better that the most vile, corrupt, warmongering neocon, Hillary Clinton, then Stein did prove prima facie sound judgement....

Jill Stein’s Ideas Are Terrible. She Is Not the Savior the Left Is Looking For.
Because even by the standards of protest candidates, Stein—whose press team did not respond to an interview request—is an absolutely awful torchbearer for the far left. She's a Harvard-trained physician who panders to pseudoscience. She mangles pet policy issues. And her cynical retelling of the past eight years has nothing to do with the reality of recorded history.

The Case Against Jill Stein
Though it's frustrating for many progressives who long for a viable third party, there are serious questions about Stein's judgement
Wanting to vote wholeheartedly for a candidate rather than merely against one is obviously ideal. But Stein's handling of even relatively minor issues has, for some progressives, increasingly called into question her judgement and the idea that she shares their values.

For example, when the UK, buffeted by anti-immigrant sentiment, shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union this summer, Stein released a statement hailing the referendum results. She called the Brexit vote "a victory for those who believe in the right of self-determination and who reject the pro-corporate, austerity policies of the political elites in the EU ... [and] a rejection of the European political elite and their contempt for ordinary people."

"People want change and they will get it one way or the other," Stein wrote. "The challenge is now to expand the political movement in the United States."

When her progressive supporters (including members of the UK Green Party, the official position of which was to support remaining in the EU) balked at Stein's interpretation of the results, she quickly overhauled the statement, stripping out words like "victory" and adding a line that claimed "before the Brexit vote I agreed with Jeremy Corbyn, Caroline Lukas, and the UK Greens who supported staying in the EU."

Stein didn't acknowledge these changes, though, responding to indignant supporters on Facebook by saying only, "You may not be seeing the actual text of this statement. Try clearing your cache."
(The original and revised versions can be viewed thanks to the Internet Archive.)

Less than a week later, Stein did something similar: She published a heartfelt remembrance of late author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel – "His life was a testament to the need for all of us to stand up against hatred that destroys our fellow human beings and diminishes life for all of us," she wrote – then quickly deleted the post, without acknowledgement, under pressure from supporters with anti-Israel views. (Stein has called for cutting aid to Israel "while it is committing war crimes and defying international law.")

She doesn’t really sound like your kind of gal, max:
What Jill Stein, the Green presidential candidate, wants to do to America
==> Stein opposes fossil fuels and nuclear energy, and her platform calls for a U.S. economy that relies exclusively on renewable energy by 2030.
==> In Stein's vision, employment would be "an enforceable right," presumably meaning workers could sue the government if it did not provide them a job.
==> Stein would repeal the Taft-Hartley Act, the federal law that allows states to bar unions from demanding that employers hire only workers who are members.
