    I know full well I’m shouting into the void. My side has less than 1% of the vote every election. Nothing I say matters beyond the enjoyment of discussion.

    who the fuck are you voting for? Nosferatu?

        ah, yeah classic green party shenanigans unfortunately. I have beef with the green party for this exact reason, but at least you’re voting.

          We have beef with Democrats too. They fight harder to keep us off the ballot than they do to get themselves elected.

            based, we should unite, greens and dems together would change literally nothing, but not having the greens party exist would arguably be more productive :)

            The only thing the greens have ever done is fuck over germany’s power grid. (this might be a slight bit of hyperbole, but still)

              Greens have a done lots of a great things at the local level.

              We can’t break into the national picture because Democrats and Republicans are corrupt, unfortunately.

                honestly i could see that, local level greens government seems like the one place it would probably be effective. Maybe they should just stop running for federal positions and focus more on local positions.

                The primary reason they can’t break in is because the system is effectively two party, and everybody else is dead in the water to begin with.

                  effectively two party

                  One party, as evidenced by the fact that both parties rule as conservatives.

                    as compared to socialist/commie parties, yeah.

                    but the chances of socialists and commies taking power of the US government and managing to refactor the entire government is so low it will probably self destruct prior to that, so we should probably work within the bounds of the government we have currently.

                    As far as moderate lefties go, we’ve got a really good line up this time around.
