He conveniently cut out the very first part of the Wikipedia section that states the info is from 2017, he posts and comments for 8 hrs a day, and this is his 3 name change.
–The Green Party’s membership encompasses the fourth-highest percentage of registered voters in the United States, with a total membership of 234,120.[67] The Green Party has its strongest popular support on the Pacific Coast, Upper Great Lakes, and Northeast, as reflected in the geographical distribution of Green candidates elected.[68] As of June 2007, Californians have elected 55 of the 226 office-holding Greens nationwide. Other states with high numbers of Green elected officials include Pennsylvania (31), Wisconsin (23), Massachusetts (18) and Maine (17). Maine has the highest per capita number of Green elected officials in the country and the largest Green registration percentage with more than 29,273 Greens comprising 2.95% of the electorate as of November 2006.[69] Madison, Wisconsin is the city with the most Green elected officials (8), followed by Portland, Maine (7).–
Being incorrect isn’t “lying.” If you feel your information is more up-to-date and accurate (which it may be!), please feel free to update the Wikipedia article.
And the point being made was that Greens don’t just run for presidential elections. Again, feel free to update the Wikipedia article.
I have no comment on this particular political topic, but posting statistics without a source reference is bad form. Maybe it’s not “lying” but it’s misleading, intentional or not. Yes, you did post a source in proper context after you were challenged but it ended up making your original comment look worse. That is my opinion looking from the outside.
If you post data, just cross reference it a couple of times to reduce any friction later. Or don’t. You do you.
Fair points. I didn’t think to post that it was from Wikipedia because I’ve posted the entire Wikipedia web address before.
I get the “but greens have never run for any other office before!!” comment a LOT. So I just stopped posting the wiki addy and put the stats since people weren’t actually looking at the article link. But moving forward, I’ll do note it.
Why are you lying?

Maybe don’t start with an accusation, could be just inaccurate information?

Nothing like using 17 year old data to prop up your spoiler party!
I simply used wikipedia. Feel free to use your updated stats.
And it’s not my “spoiler party.” I’m not even voting Green Party. I didn’t write the article, friend. I just posted it.
