With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.

            Maybe they should take some of the money they spend on Stein’s vanity run and instead use it on their Congressional races.

            When’s the last time you saw an ad for a Green Party candidate? Or saw a candidate holding rallies in your state?

            There’s plenty of local and even state positions where Republicans run unopposed and Democrats don’t even put up a candidate. Why aren’t Greens investing in those races? Those are literally the perfect opportunity for Greens to start making headway.

              Because when i think “spending too much on presidential campaigns”, I think Green Party

              This is the kind of disconnect that happens when you start from a conclusion (green party bad), and then try to work backwards to figure out why. I havent even seen an ad for Jill, let alone for less prominent green party candidates.

                If Jill Stein thought she had a chance, she’d join the Democratic Party and actually campaign to win. She’s just running for the self-indulgence despite hurting civil rights and climate initiatives.

                  The democratic party is too conservative and corrupt. Steins platform doesnt align with theirs.

                    I’ve never heard a single position of hers that is too liberal. Even Andrew Yang was given his time to make his case. Voters said no.

                    The problem is that she’s not actually popular enough with voters to get elected, let alone popular enough in the liberal half of the country to get nominated. She’s saying the game is rigged because she doesn’t actually have a chance.

                    The game actually favors her. RCV would help a moderate like Manchin get elected.
