    The GOP has been using the Green Party to split the Left vote for years.

    Putin has been linked to political assassinations going back years.

    If you need more evidence, I’ll send you some more links.

      Why do you keep bringing up Putin? I’m not voting for Putin. I don’t care what the GOP thinks about the Green Party, either. Why do you find these arguments compelling?

        Oh, no! She didn’t denounce Putin fast enough!

        Literally the first thing you mentioned was Putin. And then you get on me for explaining myself.

        And if you don’t care what the GOP thinks of the Greens means that you have absolutely no idea how elections actually work in the US. I’ll give you a link on ‘splitting the vote’ so you can understand.

      The GOP has been using the Green Party to split the Left vote for years.

      how could that be effective, if the green party didn’t push leftist views?

        I’ll relink the article on vote splitting.

        It’s amazing to me to talk to people who claim to be political and yet seem to have never actually considered how elections actually work.

          this is just spam.

          the answer is the green party does push leftist views.

            I did a quick check. there’s not one Green Party member of Congress as of 2024.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Green_politicians_who_have_held_office_in_the_United_States

            I never said that the Party didn’t have Leftist views; I said that they are taking Left votes from the Dems and helping the GOP win.

              no, they are earning votes the Democrats can’t.

                And exactly what good are those votes doing if the Greens can’t win any elections?

                The point of running isn’t to make nice speeches, it’s to get elected and make real changes.

                Again, what is the point if you never win?

                  the prohibition party never won, but they got a constitutional amendment.

                  the point is building a movement and demonstrating power.

                    Quick search shows that the Prohibition Party was established in 1868 and Prohibition was enacted in 1919. About 50 years later.

                    Greens were established in 2001. I guess that means you’re willing to wait another 25 years for any substantive change.

                    Also, it’s pretty funny that you can pay attention to the Prohibition Party and ignore the idea of vote splitting.

              this has nothing to do with what I said

                Please answer the question.

                I’m pretty sure you can’t, but in case someone else stumbles on this I want it shown that you couldn’t
