      It’s fucked up that the Greens actually went into business as Russian stooges instead of just being an opposition party.

          Yes, you are correct that the numbers for the Green Party aren’t usually enough to make a difference in any election. I’m just frustrated that they’re not even providing a legitimate alternative to the Democratic Party.

          How I’d want the Greens to work:

          1. Run real candidates in local elections who care about the environment and get shit done. Be able to point to things like town X electing a Green as mayor and not having their water poisoned. Or 6 state reps from the Greens passing air pollution controls and getting more business into the state instead of less. Pro-bike laws. Etc.
          2. Ask both national parties what they’re going to promise to do for the environment and either endorse the better one or release a statement that both parties are unwilling to do anything for the environment and encouraging people to vote local.

          How the Greens actually work:

          1. Take money from private interests
          2. Abandon all local races
          3. Fuck around at the national level, drawing attention and money away from groups that would try to get anything done

          Lol more of the same, you’re too chickenshit to actually admit that dems fucked themselves over by refusing to condemn and meaningfully oppose genocide so you blame the victims, the voters, the other parties. You deserved to lose. You deserve Trump and worse.
