this is just spam.
the answer is the green party does push leftist views.
I did a quick check. there's not one Green Party member of Congress as of 2024.

I never said that the Party didn't have Leftist views; I said that they are taking Left votes from the Dems and helping the GOP win.
no, they are earning votes the Democrats can't.
And exactly what good are those votes doing if the Greens can't win any elections?
The point of running isn't to make nice speeches, it's to get elected and make real changes.
Again, what is the point if you never win?
the prohibition party never won, but they got a constitutional amendment.
the point is building a movement and demonstrating power.
Quick search shows that the Prohibition Party was established in 1868 and Prohibition was enacted in 1919. About 50 years later.
Greens were established in 2001. I guess that means you're willing to wait another 25 years for any substantive change.
Also, it's pretty funny that you can pay attention to the Prohibition Party and ignore the idea of vote splitting.
the fact you need to search indicates you may not be qualified to be having this discussion.
You get funnier and funnier. I literally lol'd that one.
if you don't know about the most successful third party in America that never won an election, you should probably not be the one teaching about third parties
This from the guy who needed 'splitting the vote explained'
You just keep getting funnier and funnier.
btw, uproarious laughter isn't considered a sign of petulance. It means 'sulky'
just because you insisted on linking your favorite think tank doesn't mean anyone needed to see it.
Now who is acting petulant?
correcting your assumptions is generosity, not petulance
Sure, keep telling yourself whatever you need to.
You're a very smart person and a skilled debater; you have made a lot of people rethink their old ideas.
You are talented and well-respected in your community.
Need any more affirmations?
After all the laughter you've given me, I feel like giving something back.
this has nothing to do with what I said
Please answer the question.
I'm pretty sure you can't, but in case someone else stumbles on this I want it shown that you couldn't
don't be petulant
