    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.

      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 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.

                Me too! That’s why I’m voting third party.

                  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.

                    Man this must be your first election, otherwise you’d realize you’re repeating the same word for word nonsense Dems have been paying people to say since the 1980s, right down to the scary Russians with infinite power and influence sentiment.

                    There will always be another monster your owners are going to tell you wants to destroy democracy and bring on fascism so you must only ever vote for them for the rest of time without fail or deviation.

      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.

      Or maybe we will just get neo-fascism and the violent persecution of left wing america.

      Yep. Funny how Democrats are just as desperate as the Republicans (who always try to get rid of Libertarians) to make sure we have fewer choices to vote for.
