Please give me one example of where I’m campaigning for him. Come on, show us. You’re pretty sure of yourself, so give me an example of me campaigning for Trump.
If I were campaigning for Trump, then why would I say I’m not voting for him? Doesn’t seem like very good campaigning.
Okay technically its your electoral college representative will be casting the vote for trump on behalf of your state.
Then we probably won’t hear from any of these yahoos for another 3 years, cause its not like they could use the time productively to advocate for voter reform then, no its only during presidential elections for some reason…hmmm
I’m not sure where you got this list from but its disingenuous at best to say that those people are examples of people who won elections under the green party when the 8 out of the first 10 you listed actually ran as democrats and only switched after they either left office or lost in a democrat primary.
Shane Robinson -Ran and elected as a democrat
Henry Bear - Ran and elected as a democrat
Ralph Chapman - Ran and elected as a democrat
Fred Smith - Ran and elected as a Democrat
Matt Ahearn - Ran and elected as a Democrat
Audie Bock - Ran in special election under green, switched to independent (not green) after.
A lot of the other names you’ve given are for elected positions where party affiliation is not applicable like “water conservation manager for distinct 7” of some middle of nowhere county. Out of this entire list there are only maybe a half dozen valid examples of people that ran under the green party and won against actual opponents for a position that actually has any sort of power.
I just cut and pasted, friend. If you have a problem with the way Wikipedia lists them, then go on edit and update. And even with whatever edits you think it should have, my point was still shown. They don’t just run in presidential elections.
You didnt just cut and paste it, Wikipedia clearly says they ran as democrats, you made the choice to omit that part, so you knew from the moment you edited what was pasted that it was misleading and you chose to lie by omission anyway.
might as well vote for trump
I’m not voting for Trump. Thanks!
I doubt that, given how you are campaigning for him every day on Lemmy.

So where’s an example of me campaigning for him?
Literally every single comment and post in your entire history

Third parties don’t only run for presidential elections. I have had green party and libertarian party people elected in my town.

List is from wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Green_politicians_who_have_held_office_in_the_United_States
I said that third parties don’t just run in presidential elections and provided a list from wikipedia. I stand by my post. Thank you!
Even the source you copied it from actually shows they ran as democrats yet you still used it… I guess what you really stand by is bad faith.

So embarrassing! I love that for you!
