The fact of the matter is that voting green isn't a real resolution to the issue, it's just a way for someone to willingly not participate in the inevitable 2 party fight, while still saying they voted. The way the system works prevents any green party member from even being seen, much less meaningfully supported. And nobody voted in to one of the 2 major parties is going to change the system to make a 3rd party viable.
We no longer have a democracy - we're meant to have the true freedom to vote for who we want and have that actually be a legitimate method for someone to win, but instead we've served up 2 shitty candidates and told to pick one. It's no different than if a tyrannical monarch let us choose which of his 2 terrible children would become the next ruler after his death.
Now's exactly the time to be shouting from the rooftops, because now's exactly the time to start drumming up support for a resistance movement. We're not there yet as a country, I know, but we're heading there quick, and we should be getting people used to the idea that we have other options than voting for genocide supporter #1 or #2.
