Submitting is a bold choice of words. I am doing what I feel is the best way to keep the right wing out of power. And since both you and I have very little power, the only thing we can do is vote.

You aren’t making anything a reality. Tell me what the Green Party has accomplished so far.

I can respect that, but you’re voting for right wingers, making the problem worse.

Greens have historically put several important issues into the public view, especially with climate change. We have had some success with local politics as well, and are poised to make a run a 5% of the general here in November. These are all better than Dems moving us to the right.

into the public view.

But they didn’t put them there. They just agree with climate change, etc.

You’re actually the first person online I’ve heard who said “Green Party!” There are obviously more supporters, but the party’s marketing is terrible. The average Joe doesn’t know anything about them. I think a significant number of left leaning voters would agree completely with the major talking points of the Green Party. Heck, I do. To be sure, I just went down the list and they checked almost all of my boxes.

voting for right-wingers.

This is very relative to where each of us consider the center point. I’m never going to get what I want from a single vote. All I can do right now is try to keep the rights we have, vote for the status quo, and hope this country doesn’t turn into The Handmaid’s Tale

Ranked voting should be the single focus of the Green Party. They will not ever be elected without it. Nothing can actually topple the Big Two without it.

Yeah, they did.

Then donate or volunteer and do something about it like I am.

Yeah, it will take several. But you choose to not start that process.

It is, what are you doing to achieve that?
