You're viewing a single thread.
The real question is "Will the Greens break 1% of the vote this time?"
2020 - 0.26% (Hawkins)
2016 - 1.07% (Stein)
2012 - 0.36% (Stein)
2008 - 0.12% (McKinney)
2004 - 0.10% (Cobb)
2000 - 2.74% (Nader)
1996 - 0.71% (Nader)The two times they did, the rest of us got royally fucked.
Since we won't support your right wing candidates and you can't win without our support maybe its time to give up the failed duopoly experiment and vote your conscience instead of your fears.
Or maybe it's time for you to grow up and realize that all you're doing is helping fascism win.
I'm not the one supporting enablers of fascism.
Or the people supporting candidates who can't win should back someone who can in order to block fascism?
Democrats have been trying that method for a few decades and it doesn't work. Constantly repeating the same errors, expecting different results as ignorant. Like Democrats are fond of saying we live in a FPTP system, and if enough people supported a single third-party candidate that candidate would be first past the post. But they are terrified of potentially losing the few crumbs that get thrown at them every election year
