    I’m not sure where you got this list from but its disingenuous at best to say that those people are examples of people who won elections under the green party when the 8 out of the first 10 you listed actually ran as democrats and only switched after they either left office or lost in a democrat primary.

    Shane Robinson -Ran and elected as a democrat

    Henry Bear - Ran and elected as a democrat

    Ralph Chapman - Ran and elected as a democrat

    Fred Smith - Ran and elected as a Democrat

    Matt Ahearn - Ran and elected as a Democrat

    Audie Bock - Ran in special election under green, switched to independent (not green) after.

    A lot of the other names you’ve given are for elected positions where party affiliation is not applicable like “water conservation manager for distinct 7” of some middle of nowhere county. Out of this entire list there are only maybe a half dozen valid examples of people that ran under the green party and won against actual opponents for a position that actually has any sort of power.

        Even the source you copied it from actually shows they ran as democrats yet you still used it… I guess what you really stand by is bad faith.

          I just cut and pasted, friend. If you have a problem with the way Wikipedia lists them, then go on edit and update. And even with whatever edits you think it should have, my point was still shown. They don’t just run in presidential elections.

            You didnt just cut and paste it, Wikipedia clearly says they ran as democrats, you made the choice to omit that part, so you knew from the moment you edited what was pasted that it was misleading and you chose to lie by omission anyway.

                  I didn’t put in notes of any of the candidates. And it doesn’t change my answer. And if you would like to put all of that in a text format that I can easily cut and paste into replies, I will gladly use from now on and credit you too. You seem to think that I am on some mission to hide information and trick you.

                  It’s public information. I posted the text that I had about green party members that don’t just run in presidential elections. I’ve posted it before with links. I’m not misleading you on anything. Seriously, make that into a text file that I can cut and past that is formated correctly and I’ll post what you give me.

                  Dude, I’m not even voting Green Party. lol

                    of course you arent voting green, you probably dont even vote at all, your agenda is pretty obvious.

                    look at how youre deflecting this… saying i should fix wikipedia because you “just copy and pasted” then when i show that wasnt true you suggest i make it easier to copy and paste FOR YOU.

                    heres a suggestion, how about just dont paste blatant lies next time? how about take your list, look how many of them got elected as democrats and dont include them…but thatd be too straight forward and honest for you i bet, better to just blame wikipedia or say “i didn’t write the article” so you can keep spreading your garbage.
