Just because youre too lazy to pay attention to third parties on non election years does not mean theyre not working.
False equivalency. This is, in fact, an election year. And pushing a presidential spoiler hack backed by Russia isn't a great look anyway.
Oh, they're working, all right — but for who?
The American working class, besides PSL, they the only ones doing so politically.
They’re the ones saying voting against Harris is the only power they have to change her policies.
Thats an objectively true statement.
Maybe, but it leaves out the other half of the equation, don't you think?
What's the last law the greens got passed with their tactics?
What's the last progressive legislative win from the Dems that is not something Sweden had a better version of in 1976?
The ADA and recent infrastructure act
Half the states don't follow the ADA and multiple organizations are trying to get consent decrees to force them too. This is after theyve already had to take the ADA to Supreme court once to get states to follow it right. Its a 30 year old law only half the country follows. The ADA is a joke unless your in one of the states that has decided to follow it. There are no punishments for states who don't.
That was either bi partisan, or a child of Republicans, as it was introduced in 1986 by a bipartisan group, signed into law by hw Bush in 1990, and amended by a Republican Congress and w bush in 2008. There was never a dem push for the law or the amendment, and there really wouldn't be as by far the majority of Americans with disabilities vote Republican.
I like how you just admitted that your stanning the greens isn't born out of the dems not being progressive enough but out of having bought the republican line hook line and sinker that dems just bad for whatever reason and having to do more introspection than glomming onto the cool edgy people who swear they're more progressive than makes your brain hurt too much.
All the political saviness of a midwestern white boomer who doesn't know jack about their political interest other than that they think the dems are against them because reasons.
You really enjoy making up things in your head to argue against so you can actually win. Greens are the only center left party in the US, and the only third party on enought state ballots to what n the presidency. That's why Dems have spent over 50 million in lawsuits against them, plus countless millions on the propaganda that informed your opinion. I personally like PSL way more, and would love the 50+ crowd to die off already so we can have a socialist in office again and actually make the country better. But we keep extending the lifespan of those brainwashed fucks, so instead, greens get my vote.
Right now the only way Dems could ever get my vote is steal the green party platform, cut off Israel entirely, and actually start to enact positive change.
Please tell me what they've been doing for the last 3 years.
Getting people elected to local seats.
Nice, which ones?
This is public information, you could have looked this up yourself at any point in the last 8 years instead of falling for Clinton propaganda. https://www.gpelections.org/greens-in-office/
That's a pretty negative and aggressive response to someone inviting you show how hard the Green party has been working.
However, that's a pretty poor showing for 8 years of work. no wonder everyone thinks the Green party does nothing besides run spoiler presidential candidates. You probably to need to find a hobby that doesn't revolve around falling for Jill Stein propaganda.
Given half of their donations go to defending the right to run for office because the Dems sue every single chance they get in every single election where both a green and a dem theyve done pretty well. Maybe you need to find a hobby that doesn't revolve around worshipping corporations and conservative cops.
lol sur
