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.

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.
