General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Well, it's official, the Green Party has just nominated another egomaniac/loser/idiot. Jill Stein? [View all]Tarheel_Dem
(31,454 posts)That is an excellent question. My explanation is much less complex, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they do the bidding of the people they claim to despise when they set out to split the vote. I can't believe anyone, let alone Democrats, take Greens seriously after 2000. They indirectly gave us Bush/Cheney, and now they piss and moan about the two wars he started, that the president is trying to get us out of. What the hell kinda sense does that make?
For folks like "Doctor" Stein and other noted Greens, who can afford to be as ideologically pure as they want, one has to wonder if they really do "care" about the people they claim to be fighting for? The Paul Ryan budget scares the crap out of most of us, and Pres. Obama and Dems in Congress are the only ones standing between us & total reckless abandonment of the social safety net so many rely on.
No one has been able to answer this question for me, perhaps you can? What the hell does the Green Party do between general elections?
