They don’t exist until 5 months before presidential elections.

Well in Howie’s case, that’s false. I was hearing about him last year, along with his opponent in the Green Party primary, Dario Hunter

First let me say that I have no issue w/ individual GP members, their sentiments & disillusionment are totally valid. But as Dary said, they dont put the energy into the grassroots movement they need to build a sustainable, long term counter to the dems.

Yea as long as I’ve been alive I’ve heard about the need for a legit third party but no one has taken the time (that I have seen) to make it happen. You don’t get to just have a Presidential candidate and think they’ll take a portion because of the other two shit candidates.

It’s hard to get a legit third party established when the laws and rules are always adjusted to benefit the duopoly

If the party is already recognized by your state you literally just need to create a central committee. Both parties have organizational structures that span from local to federal. Yea its a lot of work but if you want a third party the blue print exists.

And again, to get to the federal level and be seen as much as Democrats and Republicans, the FEC rules and policies need to be changed so they aren’t advantageous for only the duopoly. I’d love to see the GP and DSA work together and form a coalition party (1/2)

(2/2) but the disdain toward each other needs to end.

I dont really see disdain but like once again you went straight to the FEC. Home runs are cool but base hits win championships. Get a Green Party member elected to city council so people have a reference for trust for the GP because as it stands it’s only seen as a protest option

Exactly. Tbh the federal elections are pretty incidental to the mass movements on the ground that push presidents one way or the other. City council, state leg, these are winnable races & arguably way more important. The fact the Greens ignore this speaks volumes to me

Which, I would like to point out, is exactly what DSA focused on. Partly because some are able to piggy back off of an existing dem central committee. I don’t really know what the answer is besides this seems to end up as another pedantic argument that circumvents policy.
