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

49. It was the conversation being had.

You falsely equated Greens playing spoiler for Democrats to Libertarians playing spoiler for Republicans, and I pointed out to you why that rationale is completely wrong.

Greens pretty much believe everything that Democrats do; the only difference is in extremes.

Libertarians do NOT believe in everything that Republicans do and have a completely different ideology. Sometimes it overlaps with Republicans (anti-taxes, anti-regulation), but sometimes it overlaps with Democrats (pro-choice with the caveat I mentioned in my previous message, pro-same-sex marriage as long as government is in the business of issuing marriage licenses, pro-marijuana legalization/decriminalization, anti-death penalty, etc.).

As it stands, Libertarians make sense as a third party because they actually believe in a variety of ideas not currently represented by any one of the two major political parties.

Contrast that with the Green Party, whose views are damn near a Venn diagram with Democratic views on the same subjects, with the only difference in being they often propose unviable solutions that are politically radioactive, which is why they have failed so much when it comes to achieving actual political representation and their claim to fame is screwing over the party that almost completely aligns with them politically in favor of throwing major elections to the party that is completely against everything they stand for, with their one shared belief being their hatred for Democrats.
