    The Montana Republican Party paid for the Greens to gather signatures in 2020 to help them try to spoil Dem votes, so this is nothing new for Montana. The republicans there are known for funding spoiler candidates and those candidates are just happy to be getting money at all.

        Kinda funny to see a self-proclaimed socialist posting libertarian content. Trying to build some street cred to defuse the trolling claims perhaps? “Oh I’m a socialist, but really it’s all the third parties I care most about!”
