Here we go again blaming the green party for the dems running a shitty candidate and a shitty campaign. The green party doesn't exist to siphon dem votes and help Republicans win, it exists to act as a check on the democrats and make sure they don't abandon there left wing.
You know what stops the green party? Giving the left someone to vote for on the dems. Obama runs on hope and change and health care reform in 08, greens only get 0.12% . The dems give us Clinton who ignores and ostracized Bernie, greens go up to 1%. Biden campaigns on building back better, student loan forgiveness, stimmy etc. And brings Bernie into help build the platform, greens go back down to 0.26% . The dems give us kamala and ignore the left to pick up Cheney supporters, greens go back up to 0.5% .
If dems are gonna abandon the left then they shouldn't expect left votes. And if the left continues to vote dem even when they gove them nothing then they've lost all there power.
