When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

    “If you don’t agree with me 100% you must be against me.”

    Here’s the electoral reality. We have a first-past-the-post, winner-take-all system. There can only be two major parties at the same time. For the Greens to win, the Democrats have to lose.

    Since the Democrats don’t want to lose, they’ll do everything they can to stop the Greens. They aren’t going to be doing anything to help us. They certainly aren’t going to be dispensing friendly advice that will help us defeat them.

    I’m sure in January you’ll still be talking about the importance of building a 3rd party right?

    I’ll be talking about the importance of building an alternative party, yes. At usual, Democrats are projecting. They expect people to vote and then go to sleep for four years.

    I’ve can’t remember how many times I’ve heard a Democrat tell me how stressed they are about the election and they can’t wait for Harris to win so that they can go forget about politics again.

    Greens are activists. We know that there’s going to be a lot of work to be done for the next four years, regardless of who wins.
