she doesn't sound very confidant and serious with her campaign in this interview.

Bare in mind, that this video is one of the first video interviews that several of these candidates, including Kat has ever given. What will be more interesting and fairer is to watch her devolopment over the course of her campaign, and then into the future.

I'm not a registered Green, but I'm considering it. I think most Americans believe that a candidate's appearance is not very relevant. If the Greens take your advice and focus on appearances then they will never gain additional support.

Kat is awesome :)

Man, the Green Party is crap in the USA. No wonder the country is fucked.

this must be the most unqualified person in the world to be president

[megawatcher2]

she should be shot, fucking potheads allowed to run for president, wtf, we need stricter laws I swear...

[therealprezkat]

coming back and watching this/reading the comments is an interesting task. Polidoc caught me to film this with no notice or preparation - ergo the rough look. and the wind and light were no help.

and for the record, the dreadlocks were a help, not a hindrance, in campaigning.

I'm sure Kat Swift is awesome but I too would like a more professional looking politician representing the Greens. Appearence shouldn't matter but it does.

Any person who votes based upon appearance of a candidate rather than that candidate's voting record and sacrifice should not be allowed to vote, not be allowed medical treatment or food or water, and have their property taken from them by force, because those things are trivial to them.

Such voters do not act responsibly.

I make no distinction between soldiers dying in battle vs third-party politicians with little money. Either both their sacrifice benefits us, or neither does.

Then again, if their goal is awareness of the party they will def. succeed...its far more likely to get the media intrested.

[pboisei]

Candidates will not be taken seriously if they have a head full of dreadlocks..

It's not right but it is reality.

We are who we are it isn't about looks if we give into that then we might as well bow down. It is about standing strong for what we hold true.
