With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.

"How has Stein fared as a leader? By AOC’s perfectly reasonable standard, she’s done abysmally. As of July 2024, a mere 143 officeholders in the United States are affiliated with the Green Party. None of them are in statewide or federal offices. In fact, no Green Party candidate has ever won federal office. And Stein’s reign has been a period of indisputable decline, during which time the party’s membership—which peaked in 2004 at 319,000 registered members—has fallen to 234,000 today.

This meager coalition can’t possibly kick-start a legitimate political movement, capable of organizing voters and advancing ideas outside of perennial electoral events. It’s just large enough, however, to spoil the work of those who put in this kind of work."

    You just try to grab onto any difference you can see, starting with a conclusion that she’s bad and then working backwards trying to find a reason. She runs for president because that office is responsible for the bulk of issues she wants to address. To start, theyre called the green party for a reason, the president appoints the head of the EPA and Department of Energy. And foremost the president is head of the military, and she’s had a long outspoken position against the US’s absurd military. The expenses, the wars, the invasions, the abuse of human rights domestically. Throw in the departments of labor and homeland security and its a huge converging point for progressive goals.

        She’s trying to achieve goals in the face of you, and democrats, and the democrats massive legal team, and the democrats massive amounts of money and wealthy members, all doing everything they can to fight against those goals.

        Tired of this impossible standard that candidates that you are actively opposing succeeding need to succeed for your approval.

          22 years and hasn’t done anything.

          Actually, I’m incorrect. She became useful to Putin. So, she’s got that going for her.

            And youll make sure they never do anything. Never cut back on military spending, or stop climate change acceleration, or raise minimum wage, or stop genocides, or empower unions, or fix healthcare
