In time, I hope you come to reject the propaganda you just posted.
The green party doesn't exist to screw you all over. It's made up of real people who believe in the tenets of the party. The fact that the voting system is broken in 48 states and is "first past the post" is not the fault of the green party.
The green party exists to try and win, just like the two bigger parties. One could just as equally claim that the democratic party only exists to siphon off green party votes.
No, they just don't care about that side effect. They're more than happy to make the world a worse place as long as it protects their feelings.
I care about outcomes, not naive idealistic bullshit. Campaign for change locally and work from the bottom-up. Don't sabotage an entire presidential election - that you have literally no chance to win and carries great risk to people that you claim to care about - in order to get the worst candidate anyone has ever seen in our history into power.
Nah, I live in reality. Until we don't use a two-party system, the Green party doesn't exist to win.
