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.

And in “tell Us Something we Didn’t Already Know” news.

    I didn’t really know what the Green Party was until a few years ago. I originally thought Green meant pro-environment but it really just stands for green cash money from Daddy Vlad.

    if you’re telling me that there’s a compromised candidate who isn’t pursuing the stated goals of their party or the best interests of their voter base, I- I- I-'d I’d have to cock an eye at you and wonder what your agenda was fella

    pure nonsense, imagine

    just glad my party isn’t one of those, whichever one that’s convenient for the reader

    If the green party even actually cared about the shit they purport to care about, they’d have been pro nuclear. That’s all I needed to hear in order to know they were worth absolutely none of my attention.

      They also be active more than one out of every four years. You NEVER hear a word about any of them between elections. They’re spoilers. Nothing more.

      The veil is lifted finally.

        What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!

        We’ve seen this work (to our detriment) with the ‘tea party’ -_- all i’m saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

    Given the ridiculous amount of money being poured into anti green sentiment and lawsuits by the Dems, it seems like they’re threatened.

    Maybe we can have a somewhat left wing party when Dems lose again and can’t blame the greens or Bernie bros or other scape goats for their own failure to represent popular policies.

      Popular policies like investing into green energy, capping prescription drug prices, appropriately regulating business, helping students with the price of college, raising taxes on the wealthy and helping first time homebuyers get a house?

        Sure, trump did two of those, Biden has done one but promised more, and those don’t touch the problems Americans actually have, like affording rent and groceries while dealing with record inflation and failing economy for all but the wealthiest. If Dems kept half their promises they’d still be 80s Republicans, but at least people wouldn’t be becoming homeless at the fastest rate in US history.

      Threatened by Russian shills and spoiler campaigns by useless candidates that talk a lot and say nothing?

      Yeah.

      That’s a lot to be treated by. Especially when democrat hangs in the balance. Your lady is busted bro. The truth is out.

      Go sit down somewhere.

        I’m sorry your owners are paying literally millions from your campaign donations to sue the green party in multiple states, on top of funding easily debunked stories like the Russian connection. It must suck to have your donations wasted like that.

        I’m sorry I trust a medical doctor more than your candidate that has never worked a non government job.

              I vote for who I believe has the collective best interest of this country in mind, while holding the office with dignity, humility and respect for the individuality of this country’s citizens.

              If they’re a democrat- I’m voting for them.

              If the Green Party offers someone that can prove that they intend to take the job seriously, and doesn’t just pretend that shit matters one year out of every four…. I’d be happy to give them my support.

              Until then, it’s democrats down the line.

                  No. I’m not voting for a spoiler Russian shill or a spoiler place holder.

                  JFK JR doesn’t even register as qualified in my book.

                  Harris all the fucking way to a living breathing democracy. After that, we start over and see what we have.

                  But your Green Party is a fucking joke. It’s over. Stein destroyed it.

    Jill Stein is the latest in an interminable line of Green Party fucknuts “killing” the Green Party.
