        So you vote for the party that almost never runs down-ticket ballots because they think losing the presidency is the only thing that matters?

        When Greens start running for school board, city council and the state legislatures, I’ll consider them. Believe it or not, those matter even more than who is president.

          Since 1985, Greens have won at least 1414 races, including at least 164 partisan races.

          At least 132 Greens currently in office have been directly elected.

            1414 races is nothing. There are thousands upon thousands of state congressional districts and counties in this country. They are not serious.

        It won’t be much longer if Trump and the Republicans win in 2024.

          Better replace Biden then. His current polling is horrible.

        All you’re doing with a vote for the Green Party is helping Republicans who stand for the exact opposite of the Green Party. That’s how it is in an Electoral College system where the winner takes all.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
