    They also be active more than one out of every four years. You NEVER hear a word about any of them between elections. They’re spoilers. Nothing more.

    The veil is lifted finally.

      What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!

      We’ve seen this work (to our detriment) with the ‘tea party’ -_- all i’m saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

      Sure we do. In fact, my town voted Green into office.

        So… you’re evidence is local elections? Tell us you’re not paying attention to the topic of discussion without telling us you’re not paying attention to the topic of discussion.

        What did Stein or West do?

          Well it was said we never hear about them between elections. Stein doesn’t just stop being part of the Green Party between elections. It just doesn’t make the news. Big difference.

          And I don’t like West, so I have no comments or ideas about what he does or doesn’t do.

            Ahh. So you support the Russian shill only. Fair enough. It was said we never hear from PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES between elections.

            Try and keep up.

              But the comment didn’t say “PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES between elections.” It said “they” and that could be a lot of people. And I was under the impression it mean “they” as in “the Green Party.”

              And many some third party presidential candidate are active between elections. They just don’t make the news because news orgs don’t see it as a story unless it’s an election year.

                I’m not entertaining your trollish attempts to keep this discussion going. Anyone reading this would have extrapolated the intended topic.

                We’re done here. You’ve nothing to say that’s relevant to the actual topic and you’re only derailing it further but pushing this.

                You’ve been called out. Yet again.

                Have a nice day! Was nice talking to you :)
