Given the ridiculous amount of money being poured into anti green sentiment and lawsuits by the Dems, it seems like they're threatened.
Maybe we can have a somewhat left wing party when Dems lose again and can't blame the greens or Bernie bros or other scape goats for their own failure to represent popular policies.
Or maybe we will just get neo-fascism and the violent persecution of left wing america.
That's going to happen regardless if you keep electing liberals while thinking left wing policies are too unpopular to pass. Hitler was appointed by a liberal.
Ever hear the term beefsteak nazi?

Yep. Funny how Democrats are just as desperate as the Republicans (who always try to get rid of Libertarians) to make sure we have fewer choices to vote for.
Popular policies like investing into green energy, capping prescription drug prices, appropriately regulating business, helping students with the price of college, raising taxes on the wealthy and helping first time homebuyers get a house?
Sure, trump did two of those, Biden has done one but promised more, and those don't touch the problems Americans actually have, like affording rent and groceries while dealing with record inflation and failing economy for all but the wealthiest. If Dems kept half their promises they'd still be 80s Republicans, but at least people wouldn't be becoming homeless at the fastest rate in US history.
Arguably Biden has done more than two of those things. At least, not for the lack of trying.
Really? Which two did Trump do?
Threatened by Russian shills and spoiler campaigns by useless candidates that talk a lot and say nothing?
Yeah.
That’s a lot to be treated by. Especially when democrat hangs in the balance. Your lady is busted bro. The truth is out.
Go sit down somewhere.
My “owners?”
Care to explain exactly what you meant by this?
Would you ever under any circumstance, not vote dem?
I vote for who I believe has the collective best interest of this country in mind, while holding the office with dignity, humility and respect for the individuality of this country’s citizens.
If they’re a democrat- I’m voting for them.
If the Green Party offers someone that can prove that they intend to take the job seriously, and doesn’t just pretend that shit matters one year out of every four…. I’d be happy to give them my support.
Until then, it’s democrats down the line.
Me too! That's why I'm voting third party.
It’s a free country. You’re free to be as foolish as you’d like.
And the same goes for you too. Thank you!
So then you're voting green, right? More people in office than any other third party.
No. I’m not voting for a spoiler Russian shill or a spoiler place holder.
JFK JR doesn’t even register as qualified in my book.
Harris all the fucking way to a living breathing democracy. After that, we start over and see what we have.
But your Green Party is a fucking joke. It’s over. Stein destroyed it.
Man this must be your first election, otherwise you'd realize you're repeating the same word for word nonsense Dems have been paying people to say since the 1980s, right down to the scary Russians with infinite power and influence sentiment.
There will always be another monster your owners are going to tell you wants to destroy democracy and bring on fascism so you must only ever vote for them for the rest of time without fail or deviation.
Well said, friend!
Oh the irony of this statement. Especially when followed the drivel and rhetorical nonsense you spewed afterwards.
At least my “owners” haven’t been proven to be taking Russian funds. Keyword: PROVEN. The fact that you’re here in denial of it indicates that you’re clearly aware of it, and okay with it.
"proven." CNN and Fox News aren't real grandpa, you should know that by now.
And thanks for agreeing with me that your owners expect you to vote for them for eternity and constantly make you scare the evil other is coming to get you if you don't support them unconditionally.
“Grandpa?”
You’ve just lost this one also bud. You see, name calling is a clear indicator that you need to hide behind something to conceal the fact that you have no argument.
Thanks for playing. You lose. Walk away now.
Oh and your whole “owners” bit is going to end right now. You’re violating civility rules with your accusations of accusing people of being slaves. People get incredibly offended about racial insensitivity.
The real world is not a high school debate club, Mr Shapiro.
Your second part is pure nonsense, I hope you get better soon.
So…. I have a name, though it’s not Shapiro. So that’s bad-faith nonsense trolling already,
And…
There’s a term for fake care and sympathy. I can’t remember what it is, but it takes little effort to realize how disingenuous it is, and is also trolling.
Be better.
