Who's joining the Greens?

[BurtWorm]

I'm thinking about it.

[Inland]

1. People who want to go from losing to complete irrelevance.

Why not just drop out?

[BurtWorm]

3. It's not such a leap!

[eleny]

7. Well, a person has to ask themselves...

If our candidate comes so close and fails to even get a better vote count in the last state standing in question - why not consider alternatives? Today is a day for many questions. We can at least do that - ask?

[Sara Beverley]

10. How can one be more irrelevant than being a Dem right now?

We have nothing. Not the media, not the House, not the Senate, not the Courts.

[BurtWorm]

15. Not even the Party!

Not even the fucking party! Where is the party?

[Tomee450]

36. I want to stay with the Democrats

but seriously, should we stay with a party that does not seem to be able to win? We are in worse shape than ever.

[July]

2. Actually, I think we need a new party.

One that prevents fake elections like the last two we've had.

[teevee99]

30. here here

we do.

[Bjornsdotter]

4. I said...

...if the Democratic Party didn't find their balls this time...I was switching. I have a lot of thinking to do...


Kim :mad:

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Burt, I hear ya. See my site for info on election reform. I think we

need that even before we try to build up any parties.

*sad hug*

8. It's looking like time to give up on the nation and focus on the local.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Yep. Fight for election reform at the municipal and state levels

it'll be hell but we CAN change the federal gov't over that way. Maybe by the time I am a grandmother in 20 years, we'll actually feel good about voting for prez again.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Not Me

The fight continues as a Dem

[hnsez]

9. Just get mad.

Anger is power. Stay angry.
Angry at weak kneed Dems and corrupt Repugs.

Remake this party. Don't serve it.

[goodhue]

12. No way.

I'd much rather we simply run a candidate who espouses green values.

[The Chronicler]

13. The Democratic Party needs major reform.

GOP was out of the White House from 1932-1952 basically. They totally transformed their party during that time.

[Meshuga]

14. What about working on making the Democratic party stronger instead of

Jumping ship?

It makes more sense to me, but hey...

[BurtWorm]

18. What was the party doing since 2000?

Does the party WANT to get stronger? Or is it somehow content to blow elections for the foreseeable future? What does it stand for anymore?

[w4rma]

25. You're a footsoldier in that Party. YOU are that Party. You obviously

need to do more. I know for a fact that the folks within leadership positions within the Party are doing everything possible.

[BurtWorm]

28. Wouldn't that include communicating with the rank and filers?

Have you received word one from them?

[Michael_UK]

16. Go ahead, split the left. Really good idea! (sarcasm)

Once you've calmed down, you'll hopefully realise how pointless leaving the Democratic Party would be

[deutsey]

17. I left the Democratic Party a while ago, but I'm not sure if I'll join

the Greens.

I may just remain Unaffiliated and vote with whatever liberals/progressives may still exist.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Do that. Again, I cannot over stress the importance of election reform

at the municipal and state level.

19. Stop that Idiocy.

So we lost. We lost convinvincingly so you are goiong to run throw a tantrum with other losing insigigicant parties. Al you wind up doing is keeping the NeoCons and fundies in power.

THe only way to fix this is to bebuuild and rebuild towards the suburban moderates. It is the only way to win.

Grow up

[BurtWorm]

22. Where are the Democrats today? They're conceding.

They're keeping us rank-and-filers in the dark and conceding.

[slackmaster]

20. Not I

Although I share much in common with both Green and Libertarian philosophy I don't see either party as the proper adversary.

[w4rma]

21. GD Greens and Naderites wasted our resources this year and helped

usher in that madman both in 2000 and 2004 while Repugs helped them do it in every way they could.

The Republican Party thanks you for your interest in fighting against their primary enemy: the Democratic Party.

[BurtWorm]

24. The Greens did not waste our resources.

Nader did, it's true. But the Greens were ABB. And look at what it got them!

[w4rma]

26. Well I'm sitting here arguing with you over this. I'd call that a waste of

resources. And look how many other folks are wasting their resources on this because of you.

[City Lights]

27. I'm going independent.

That way I can vote in gop primaries.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Good plan!

[Rambis]

31. WE need a hammer guy!

We need a governor Talkin to keep the local systems in line. The Pugs won an election where 50% or more of the people that voted for them don't like or believe in the platform. Gays,abortion,deficit and they still voted for the POS! We don't need any more division on the left.

[regnaD kciN]

32. What's the point?

The Greens are, for all intents and purposes, finished.

[BurtWorm]

33. And the Democrats aren't?

I wouldn't be so sure.

[Kahuna]

34. This is not the way to fight back and win. The republicans are

going to start cultivating their nominee for 2008 right now. We need to do the same thing. Instead of having ten guys tearing each other apart in order to get the nomination.

[Zero Gravitas]

35. why not

if the Dems can lose this election I can't see how they will ever win another. the fascists can't possibly come up with anyone worse than that FUCKING RETARDED ASSHOLE MONKEY in the white house.

[Perky]

37. On second thought Go ahead and leave!!!

We Democrats would probably do better without your 1960s baggage.

[Jane Austin]

38. Uh, no.

All this election proved is that LIES WORK.

Period.

Bush, Rove, Hughes, Cheney lied every time their mouths opened.

They lied about policy and they lied about Kerry.

How would joining the Greens improve that?
