Hard to succeed when you have a shoestring budget and elites smearing you relentlessly. Also this is a petty thing to criticize a small party for.
Oh pish posh Sunshine. That comment is perfectly fine within the context it was written, and isn't a jab at the party in specific. Noting that they're 1 of the only 3 parties that are potentially viable to form a government, albeit unlikely, is a nod to them being an actual party if anything -- compared to the whatever the fuck that centre/one parties are or w/e.
Noting that they didn't manage to field candidates in quite a few lower mainland districts is also worth highlighting. I don't expect the greens to 'win', but it's still worth watching what they do / where the spend resources, given that they have a new untested leader. Are they not fielding candidates in those ridings because they don't want to split votes / dedicate limited resources to races they don't think they can win? Who knows. But scrutiny of the greens is warranted. I shouldn't have to remind you how much of a cluster fuck the federal greens were under Annamie Paul -- a mark on their record that cost them many longtime supporters, and is a situation that drove away many moderate-green leaning voters. She and the federal greens are basically the poster child for "DEI is fucking stupid" too, which is just... I mean fuck me, they fucked up equity stuff so badly that they practically handed right-wingers a gift basket.
Regardless, you don't need to imagine insults to the greens everywhere -- I'm sure you have far too many subs to astro turf with your biased news spam to question every "not positive and glowing" comment about the greens on the site.
