  Drop the Democrats and support the Green Party.

    No. Fuck the Green Party. They’ve disappeared immediately after the election like they always do, and we will not hear about them again for another four years.

    They are not a real party.

      Can someone explain why all this hatred for the green party? I don’t know anything about them but I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason for that is active silencing.

        They exist merely to help an incumbent conservative president win by siphoning votes away from disgruntled progressives. They come out of the dark at election time, then disappear after the election, like demented cicadas.

        They are a fake party that comes out every four years (after primary season, when they could have become an actual viable candidate in our broken two-party system), to be a spoiler candidate that siphons votes from the Democratic party.

        Every time.

        Then they disappear for four years, and re-appear again at the same time during the next presidential election cycle and do it all again. They are not a serious party. If they were, they would have actual candidates running at state and local levels. They would participate in the primary process and/or campaign to switch away from First Past the Post system.

        But they do none of that.

      We haven’t “disappeared”. The media only covers us when we’re running presidential candidates.

        What positions have the green party been elected to? I don’t mean nationally I mean state side.

        Oh cool, then I’m sure you guys will start campaigning right away with some new, serious, progressive faces to go against democrats in primary elections?

        No? You’ll be gone until 2028?

        Prove me wrong.

    PSL is the only actual revolutionary party in America that I know of right now. The green party is a joke.

    Go piss in the wind! The US Green Party is not the same as the European versions, with exception to the turd and loser, Joschka Fischer.
