      Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.

      Son, I am disappoint.

      The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn’t where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.

        Why not run for the House? A seat has 750k-800k population and quite a few districts are much further left then US average. If a further left candidate would run its those seats, that would force the Democrats to move left.

          That’d take more effort than bitching on the internet.

          As history has shown, it would actually make them court the right even harder.

        Whoah whoah whoah. They shouldn’t run for state-level office until they’re landslide winning every mayoral election and student council.
