    I did that in 2016 and it didn’t progress shit. It made it worse like it will if we do that this year. I organized and pushed leftists in primaries and I was beaten by “moderates.” Specifically, nobody had a chance against the incumbent. It fucking sucks but I don’t want a declared fascist putting more assholes on judicial benches or pushing anti-trans, anti-women policies.

    I’m with you on both parties sucking. But please, grow up. If you want to help, do it before the nominees are set. And don’t drag others into your misguided principles.

      Did your lazy ass do anything else?

      Jill Stein is a good candidate in a historically weak election for the ruling class.

      I’ve gotten dozens of people to vote Green in my state, what have you done?

        “There are dozens of us.” lol

        wtf have I done? I already said. Organized and gotten people elected to school boards, city council, and our mayor too. We primaried for state and federal elections but didn’t get our candidates. We didn’t pout and waste our votes on people who had no chance of getting elected. We sucked it the fuck up and tried to make sure Republicans didn’t get elected.

          I’ve been looking through your comments and have confirmed you are a fake. Where can I see any evidence of your “efforts” to help the Green party?

          I don’t believe you at all. Any person informed enough to do what you said knows voting for Democrats only makes out situation worse by consenting to neoliberal capitalism. None of the hundreds of people affiliated with the Green party I’ve met have said that, so you’re lying.

            voting for Democrats only makes out situation worse

            Tell me you’re not a pregnant woman who needs obstetric care of any kind or a capitol policeman or trans or Hispanic or a person who’s trying to get sick days from their union or a Ukrainian

            by consenting to neoliberal capitalism

            Yes, everyone knows that simply not consenting to the system suddenly makes it go away. Just ask anyone who’s ever been on a traffic stop – you just have to tell the policeman you do not consent, and all of a sudden, everything changes, and it works out better that you didn’t go along with the system.

            If only the civil rights movement had been privy to this knowledge, they could have done their decades of work to make the system better much more simply and easily

              Dems can’t fix that or they won’t be able to run on it anymore. They have plenty of opportunities especially the super majority under Obama.

              Yes, everyone knows that simply not consenting to the system suddenly makes it go away.

              Never made that argument, bad gaslighting attempt. Green part hits even 5% and Dems start doing what you want.

              If only the civil rights movement had been privy to this knowledge

              This actually goes against your argument, civil violence was the only reason anything happened for that movement, and you’re advocating for voting for Dems and not getting in the streets.
