    I didn’t vote for them, I voted for another third party candidate whose less cozy with putin since I live in California and due to our fucked up electoral system my vote for president doesn’t matter. If I was voting in a state that mattered I’d vote for Harris for harm reduction. I’m just tired of all the people on here blaming stein for Harris lack of support among progressives and Arabs instead of Harris for running a campaign that alienated them.

    Their politics are the same as all the other green parties, actually address the climate crisis, defund the military and end forever wars, and implement some basic social democracy like single payer Healthcare. They can’t do any of this because they can’t get into power due to the electoral system, but that’s not there fault.

    What are they supposed to do in between elections? The only time people care about politics and the only time it matters is during elections. Trying to build the party in off years is mostly a waste of time since people will just ignore you or forget about you by the time the election comes around.

      I hope it wasn’t the socialist party. Their program reminds me of the original program of the NSDAP so much.
