For those who don't understand: there is over 100 MILLION DOLLARS in the FEC's public campaign fund for any party that can get 5% of the vote. With that kind of funding you could actually take on the existing parties.

Get the Greens over the 5% line, really shake up the system

Jillbilly got just over 1% in 2016 but that was 3x what she got in 2012. They've been steadily going up since their nadir in 2004. If turnout is similar to 2016, we need about 7 million votes to get that 5%.

2008 was particularly funny because the Greens nominated Cynthia McKinney and got fewer votes than both the Libertarians and the Constitution Party because she was running against Obama

2012 was funny because Roseanne ran for the nomination but lost to Jill Stein

Pretty sure the overwhelming majority of people voting Green since 2016 are closer to your stereotypical Bernie Bro than your stereotypical hippie. That said, I don't think they're so bad and they have a place in a left coalition. They certainly worked hard to keep up this nice national party we're swarming into.

I see your point, but how do you deal with the people who go into a psychotic fugue at the least bit of pandering to antivaxxers while ignoring that Biden told his voters to go kill themselves?

Yeah I'll do this. In past elections I voted for explicit socialist parties, but this time I really want to help send a message to the democrats, and greens running a socialist are the best poised to get anything close to noticeable numbers.


That and I just saw a video of Howie for the first time in the OP and see he has an adorable accent, lol.
