    People literally die horrible deaths because of the “lesser of two evils”.

    I’m not sure how bad it’s going to have to get before Democrats will vote Green, but I get the sense that by the time they’re willing to do so it will be too late anyway.

      Problem is that the Green Party isn’t even on the ballot in most states, and the two first parties have made sure they can keep it that way.

      I literally can’t register as a member of the green party because it’s not an option in my state. The only parties that can nominate candidates in my state are the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Legalize Marijuana Now.

          How does that work in States that have closed elections? Would their vote for the Green Party candidate still be valid or would it get thrown out?

      I don’t think the green party is the right path. Especially if it involves Jill Stein

      Bernie had it right, we have to save the Dem party before we can use it to save the country.

      The problem is ever since Obama beat Hillary, the party keeps taking steps to prevent upsets against their picks, and no one seems to care.

        Bernie had it right, we have to save the Dem party before we can use it to save the country.

        After seeing what happened to Bernie, I find your assertion to be completely unreasonable.

        You have to divorce yourselves from the Dems and their dark money if you want meaningful change.
