    hey you ain’t exactly wrong. Jill Stein is just going straight for the office she will never, ever win. Republicans are steamrolling this by snatching up undesirable small-time seats and then being complete freaking loose nuts.

    If Jill Stein ever gave a fuck, she would build support county to county. And we need that person. But it ain’t her.

        It’s amazing how few people know this whole character arc for her. It made me really regret voting for her in 2016. I’m really surprised and disappointed they keep letting her on the primary ballot after the RT dinner, between that and being anti-nuclear the Green Party’s legitimacy has irreparably tanked.

      State chairs are responsible for state strategies. There are actually elections regulations that, surprise, make it very hard to mingle state and federal activities too much.

          Nowhere without ballot access, which requires votes in federal elections in most places.

          With ballot access they can all of a sudden play ball just by threatening dem chair to run spoilers.

          It’s not fast or easy. The system is built to prevent third parties from being able to even function, and you’re using the results of those oppressive regulations to prove there’s no point.

          Register green, call your green state chair and run for state house once. You’ll get a lot of info, strategy meetings and party training. Enjoy the education, fix your registration and move forward understanding the bit of the system you’re trying to critique.

            Register green, you can still vote for kamala Harris. I used to be all for third parties myself, but they clearly isn’t going anywhere. Ranked choice voting is the bare modicum.
