Been saying this every time the subject it brought up. The Green Party is nowhere to be found three years of every four, and even in the election year- they seem to offer a lot of shit with no clear path to actually make it happen.
I think we’re finding out that they’ve always been a spoiler party. They were never meant to actually get elected. Just divide and distract.
And the did this VERY effectively. Just look at lemmy if you want a microcosm of how that shit works.
Exactly. And what is super annoying about this, is that to most people, it’s painfully obvious what they’re up to.
MAGA exists to round up all the full-blown idiots and the Green Party exists to round up all the would-be idiots still on the fence. It’s so incredibly obvious!
And yet there are so many people that think people like Shill Stein have their best interests in mind.
They have the same mindset as maga assuming this person who has never actually done anything to help them has their best interests at heart. So frustrating to see that level of cognitive dissonance. Literally impossible to have a conversation with either of those groups.
If they were wanting to make a real difference, we’d see them on local ballots advocating for alternative voting systems like STAR or ranked-choice voting. Like, that should be their #1 priority.
See this interview Jill Stein did that’s viral right now of her refusing to call Putin a war criminal despite easily saying it about netenhayu (5:30 start)

Does STAR have the problem of score voting that not giving every candidate either the maximum or minimum score (effectively approval voting) is effectively throwing half your vote away?

I think Nader truly wanted to drive change. But since he’s been gone the party hasn’t done much of anything to be taken seriously.

I still think Howie Hawkins was a really good candidate though

She’s not allowed to or her dark money dries up.
There a dinner where she’s at the table with him.

Yeah. Leftists are in as much denial of their hero’s corruption as MAGA is. There’s no getting through to them at all.

Taking about Shill Stein.
Most of the people still supporting Stein are calling Bernie a sellout because he’s telling people to vote for Democrats.
