    Are there no actual Green Party people in the US? People who actually care about climate change and will get rid of the Russian stooge currently calling the shots. It just seems weird that she pops up every four years and melts away whilst doing absolutely fuck all to advance the agenda her supporters should care about.

      There are only 2 presidential parties in America. Republican and Democrat. Any party that gains traction outside of those two only serves to disrupt one party in favor of the other.

      Are there people in favor of a Green Party? Of course. But the Green Party is a scam to get republicans elected.

      A legitimate Green Party might exist at the local level, in some places. (FWIW, the only local Green Party person I know is a crank. Even so, I’d be surprised if he was stupid enough to vote for Jill Stein.)

      The Green Party platform is strictly anti-environment. Anyone who has a high-school level science education understands that and votes accordingly.

      Green party used to be associated with Ralph Nader, whose famous achievement was getting seatbelts installed into every automobile in the United States.
