(CW: transphobia) If you're thinking of voting Green, you may wish to reconsider

You have to write in the psl?

i don't

Ballot access rules vary wildly between states. In some getting on the ballot is super easy (Florida). In some it's a lot of work but doable, and organized to make that happen (California, Minnesota, Virginia). In some the latter is true but the party was repressed and removed from the ballot anyways (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia). In others the bar to get on is so high that it's basically impossible for new parties so a write in is the best we can do (NY, Michigan).

They don't appear to have much more "party discipline" than the Democrats (who expect nothing of themselves, of course). They're prone to the same bs like this happening and should not be taken seriously.

C'mon man

Tbf, the question was mostly rhetorical lol.

lol

Or Brasil in 2018. (it doesn't exist anymore)

The libs are delusional enough that they'll think people who vote for a ML candidate would be shoe-ins for votes - we're just not being pragmatic or realistic enough

He's some acedemic PhD historian of West Africa. I don't know how else to describe flashy people in acedemia. He's not as famous as say Carl Sagan or those other very public talk show scientists. Stein said she had a list of people whose names were making their way around the pro Palestinian student activist circles and this is who she chose. I never heard of the guy before he was vaulted to a VP slot.

He's fucked up with this and the China uyigur thing and I thunk he needs to on topics that aren't his wheelhouse, and stop falling for stupid trap interviews. He's in acedemia circles. He's a professor. He should know kids and have all that training and experience with transgender students who will now not feel safe if he goes back to teaching.

He's been nothing but spitting L's past Gaza and not only is he spreading bullshit and making the party look bad, but he's spreading consent for hate and discrimination. That's not fucking cool. That's not what the Green Party professes. Not the Green Party I know. As VP he is representing the party and supposdly the platform on the ticket, and his imperalism and ignorance, which leads to his transphobia, selective or not, transphobia is transphobia which pisses me the fuck off as the Greens are better than that.

Obviously transgenders have a right to play sports with their peers. Exclusionary policies only teach others to hate and division which lead to discrimination throughout life. It fosters depression lonliness isolation which denies a person equal rights and equal worth within society. The Greens know this or at least should know this, and update their public facing stuff to specifically address this. Ware needs a serious dressing down and education. He's become a liability. I"m not on Xhitter otherwise I'd dress him down myself.

And it is on Stein and whatever commitee process she has to properly vet this kind of stuff. So that L oversight is on her.

fwiw PSL and Green have shown up to some of the the same protests this year

Claudia is definitely hustling all over the country. She's been holding events in lots of states at community centers and universities. Maybe she could have been flashier at some protests but PSL might not want to entangle their lead party candidate in anything with potential criminal consequences as they are still a smaller party than Greens and probably don't have as substantial of a legal fund.

This is weird because Claudia and Karina are extremely visible at many protests around the country. Claudia was even arrested in NYC this year.
