Why should or shouldn't I (or anyone) vote for Jill Stein?

I'd prefer people to list substantive reasons, rather than simply point out that she has no possibility of winning and so voting for her might be considered a "waste."

I have reservations about the Green Party in general because environmental issues are simply not in my top three priorities when it comes to politics. Stein herself doesn't seem to break from the mold much. Although I agree with some of her economic and social positions, she seems like a one-issue candidate.
 
I considered Jill Stein, but I can't get behind some of the stuff she considers right and I disagree with her fundamental philosophy. Rights are based on societal contract and not a moral viewpoint.

From a practical perspective, I think she would be bad for the country due to its divisiveness. If people were more calm, than I may vote for her based on what she would try to accomplish. I do think she is an exceptionally good, moral, and honest person though.
