No group has done more to harm their own cause than the Green Party USA

26. This is quite true. We do not own the votes of non-Democrats. They were never ours.

A bunch of my friends, including me, were for Bernie Sanders.

Some of us were Democrats, and some were either Greens or unaffiliated.

Bernie was able to attract people outside the party to vote for him.

When Bernie lost to Hillary, although disappointed, the Dems among us voted for Hillary. The others gravitated to Jill Stein.

At the time, it was rumored, but not clearly established that Stein was backed by Putin.

I think a lot of people didn't realize just how bad it would be under Trump and that even if you hated her, no matter how you look at it, clearly Hillary was the better choice.

Do they blame themselves for Trump? Certainly not. Right or wrong, they blame the whole political system for not giving them better choices.

This small group of ultra-lefties are there every election not giving their votes to Dems. There was nothing new about this.
