I’ve already heard the argument that national campaigns are how you gain national media publicity. So it’s the most cost effective way to raise the Green Party profile.
However you want to slice it, the current political system is very deliberately designed to keep people like Jill Stein quarantined and silenced. Insisting she’s the problem seems to miss the forest of disinformation and corporate propaganda for a very small pro-environmentalist tree.
They still routinely get blown out 80/20 on a good year because they have no media presence and nobody with a chance at winning wants to run under their brand.
If you can win as a Green, you’d just run as a Democrat in the same way that Libertarians who want to win just run as Republicans.
Just like the DSA does.
The D in DSA stands for Democrats.
They’re a caucus, not a party. And when they do win, they’ll often struggle to keep their elected officials loyal to the platform.
