Why is there a green candidate in VA?

[ruggerson]

Why the fuck do these assholes always do this? The fucking COUNTRY is on the line and they run when they have no chance of doing ANYTHING but hurt the Democrat.

1. IN Mass, we have a fusion ballot initiative (Question Two)

to allow Green voters for Democratic candidates (or Libertarian voters for GOP candidates, for example) to be able to IDENTIFY their vote so that the Dem knows what percentage of their win came from Greens, and to be beholden accordingly. The way it works is that the Greens can put the Dem on the ballot as a Green in addition to being on there as a Dem.

It beats this shit, where the GOP tosses money at them to bleed votes away. Haven't had a chance to see how it shook out; I've been too busy with the nationals....

2. Because this is America.

In America we get to vote for whomever we want ... and people have a right to run for office and represent a point of view.

That is why there is a Green candidate.

3. Because they're a GOP sock-puppet party

I lost respect for the Greens after their shenanigans in PA.

4. How much support did they get from the Republicans?

[Cleita]

5. Because the Green Party has been infiltrated by GOP operative,

funded with GOP money and they can plant their candidates in those places that will tip the liberal vote.

6. Locking soon, and oh, THERE ISNT! HES NOT GREEN DAMMIT!

7. It says "Independent Green" party. I think we need to find out what an "independent" green is. n/t
