the solution is simple: get them to adopt Stein’s platform during the Democratic Primaries where you decide which type of candidates run under the Democratic banner.
After that, it’s pretty clear:
Democrats are better on Climate Change (Dems joined Paris Climate Agreement; Trump/Republicans left it)
Democrats are better on Healthcare (Thank Dems for No Preexisting conditions, out of pocket maximums, extended dependents on parental plans; Trump withdrew from WHO)
Democrats are better on diplomacy (forged the JCPOA, did not start war with Iran).
Democrats are better on the subject of Ukrainian sovereignty (and conversely, Russian genocide).
Some Democratic members are the only ones who denounce Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
Democrats are better on LGBTQ+ Rights
Democrats are better on Women’s Rights (e.g., Pro-Choice).
Being better is all that matters come November general election, given the nature of a binary-choice election. If you want different parties, then one must first change the rules from within and abolish FPTP that yields mathematical convergence to two-party rule.
If you are unfamiliar with the Spoiler Effect, I encourage you to read up on it because what you’re doing is actually enabling fascist Republicans to win, since I assume these are your top issues.
If not, please tell me what your top 3-5 issues and core values are and I’d be happy to discuss.
I have my gripes with Democrats and always push heavily against the milquetoast centrists, AIPAC, etc., but after the primaries — I know which party is primarily responsible for the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Edit: By the way, Trump’s withdrawal of USAID has led to more than half a million deaths globally in just a year’s time and rising, dwarfing even the Palestinian and Ukrainian genocides.

I supported Sanders during the 2016 and 2020 primaries. He did not win.
Sometimes you don’t win.
Fun fact: Wil Smith does not actually say "Welcome to Erf" in Independence Day.
He says “Earth”. He enunciates. People remember it differently because of…Mandela Effect? Racism? Memes? Some combination?
I did too.
I still voted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala post-Primaries (all significantly better than Trump and Republicans).
(That’s also why Sanders supported and voted for all three, too!)
Why didn’t he? Did he lack mass appeal and support amongst the working class?
Do you think The Party regrets their decision to cheat him out of the presidency?
