if the green party is consistently costing democrats electoral victories, wouldn't the smart thing be to absorb the green party and its platforms and presumably then these voters

that's the ENTIRE POINT of the two-party system, that one party would snap up policies that are costing them votes, and the democrats can't even do that and would just rather whine about the green party

The Republicans never do this poo poo with the Libertarian Party, who consistently get more votes than the Greens, really telling if you ask me.

Maybe Ohio just sucks.

I 100% guarantee you Limbaugh starts his show tomorrow with a smug as gently caress:

"Well well well. Where was our Blue Wave in OH, HMMMMmmm? Folks this was supposed to be a HUGE Dem win. Like NOT even close, they had this wrapped up more than Clinton did in their minds I PROMISE you that and well look who came up big and. Won. Aaaany. Way. ...Not. Them."

I can hear it perfectly in my mind now, even though Trump took that District by double-digits in 6 and right now there's less than .5 of a percent between the two of them with 95% in. Less than 800 vote difference.

Its a general lib thing to do. Its not even as if the Green party is doing well. There must be 10x as many libertarian votes as Green party votes, 1000 is a guy getting all his friends on Facebook
