Now as you argue that the Green is the enemy the fact is many felt disgusted in the way the Democratic Party treated Sanders and you should learn from that mistake but alas you will not because you see that popular vote total and truly believe Hillary was the winner but what you forget she lost so many states in the Electoral College which shows more States were against her than the Blue ones with large populations.
which is MEANINGLESS. Nobody gets up in the morning and says, "I'm so glad to be an Alabaman!!!" No, they say, "I'm glad to be an American". This concept that the "States" are somehow important is silly.
Frankly, Sanders isn't a Democrat, why was there an obligation for the Democratic party to treat him well?
Hillary treated him a lot better than Trump treated his GOP Rivals. Holy ******* shit, he accused Ted Cruz's dad of killing JFK!!!! And yet we didn't hear of any Cruz supporters saying, "I'm going to vote for McCullah to show my disgust with Trump">
So in 2020 I really hope Hillary runs again and when she loses the Electoral College again then maybe you will learn just because New York, Illinois ( Chicago Region ) and California can give you the popular vote does not mean you will win the damn election and you have to run a candidate that can win purple states, and had you Sanders would have been President and not John Trump!
I think that by 2020, Trump will have us so deep into a recession that even the racist EC won't save him. I expect the GOP to impeach him long before that happens, though... kind of like they turned on Nixon when they realized he was a liability.
They did not influence anyone!
Wikileaks releasing of the truth just did what should be done on any political party that is pretending to run a fair primary!
In the end Hillary Clinton and the DNC caused their loss and no one else!
It wasn't just Wikileaks, it was all the fake news that the Russian Trolls put on facebook that people actually thought were true.
No, they should run stronger candidates that could win House and Senate seats.
No, they should just go the **** away.
Here's the thing. When Ralph Nader handed the election to Bush in 2000, how did that advance the supposed goals of the Green Party. We got more war, more pollution, more of everything they say they are against. Al Gore would have given them maybe half of what they wanted.
Hillary would have given them half of what they wanted. Instead you have Pruitt rolling back all the environmental progress made in the last 8 years.
the Greens personify Santayana's definition of a fanatic... someone who redoubles his effort while losing sight of his goal.
I feel the same way with the Libertarian Party and it seem you believe America is best well ran by the one Party system which to me make you more of a threat to our Nation than those like Stein!
I would love to see a sensible third party evolve.
It's not the Greens, and it's not the Libertarians. These people are just plain fanatics.
The ironic thing is the main reason why third parties are the domain of nuts is because of the EC. You see, normally a political movement starts as a bunch of nuts but evolves into the mainstream as it gains followers.
But the EC makes it impossible for a third party to win. Best case scenario it throws the election into Congress, where one of the two main parties elect their guy anyway. (which is what the Founding Slave Rapists intended, but the two party system evolved instead.)
If you look at the whole history of third party movements, it's the same cycle, they make a big impact, once, and the slowly die as they have little effect.
