Okay I went off on the Green Party for a minute. And maybe I am ill informed. But can someone actually let me know if I’m wrong? I’m in Ohio, I see Sherrod Brown, Joyce Beatty, and especially Morgan Harper out here hustling in the community like year round along with a lot of republicans who I don’t love. They campaign and help solve problems 12 months a year. They are super active in politics and local problems year round. Where are the green candidates? Where is the Green Party? If you want people to vote for you you gotta put in the door knocking. Protest campaigns every 2-4 years are not gonna get you the voice you need to change things. Okay someone tell me I’m wrong. Happy to be wrong if I am wrong

Jill Stein is a very smart human and I agree with a lot of what she said but running for President is an ego trip. Her first campaign was for governor and the only political office she’s had was some small council thing which she resigned from for another ego campaign. People on the left would be much more interested in the Green Party if it was a local party and not pipe dream that only serves to hurt the only option we currently have.

From my view, you’re exactly right. All of these third parties dump tons of resources into the presidential race every 4 years without making any kind of noise at local or state levels any year. I’m sure there are some Green Party candidates running and maybe even winning local elections, but the party as a whole is unserious. They should give up on the presidential election until they build an actual bench. Get a Congressperson elected first, or a legitimate contingent of state representatives in any state. They’ve failed repeatedly to get even 10% of the vote in a national election, but they continue. And I bet that has a lot to do with the fact it’s easier for them to get donations (and pay consultants) when they’re running a national campaign

@bias
everyone in the US has been sufficiently bifurcated, on nearly all issues for so long, people are nearly incapable of imagining plurality in almost any capacity or dimension third party ain’t ever gonna happen until everyone is on board that the current major parties are both sickly and corrupt (which they are)
