With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.
And in “tell Us Something we Didn’t Already Know” news.
If the green party even actually cared about the shit they purport to care about, they’d have been pro nuclear. That’s all I needed to hear in order to know they were worth absolutely none of my attention.
Nuclear energy is the most expensive type of energy, you could have way more wind and solar energy (stored in batteries or hydrogen) for the same investment. And without waste that keeps radiating for the next millenia.
Neither storage “solution” is currently adequate for fossil fuel replacement and may never be for high-density populations. Nuclear is less impactful than burning hydrocarbons or damming rivers and fearmongering about radioactive waste products isn’t helpful because, again, every nuclear accident or leak to date has been less harmful than normal exhaust from coal-burning plants and riparian habitat destruction.
If we had kept investing in an actual energy solution we would have gen-IV reactors already and the waste concerns would be even lower.
So… you’re evidence is local elections? Tell us you’re not paying attention to the topic of discussion without tell It’s you’re not paying attention to the topic of discussion.
Well it was said we never hear about them between elections. Stein doesn’t just stop being part of the Green Party between elections. It just doesn’t make the news. Big difference.
And I don’t like West, so I have no comments or ideas about what he does or doesn’t do.
But the comment didn’t say “PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES between elections.” It said “they” and that could be a lot of people. And I was under the impression it mean “they” as in “the Green Party.”
And many some third party presidential candidate are active between elections. They just don’t make the news because news orgs don’t see it as a story unless it’s an election year.
What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!
We’ve seen this work (to our detriment) with the ‘tea party’ -_- all i’m saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

They aren’t? Damn shame
They also be active more than one out of every four years. You NEVER hear a word about any of them between elections. They’re spoilers. Nothing more.
The veil is lifted finally.
Sure we do. In fact, my town voted Green into office.

What did Stein or West do?
Well it was said we never hear about them between elections. Stein doesn’t just stop being part of the Green Party between elections. It just doesn’t make the news. Big difference.
And I don’t like West, so I have no comments or ideas about what he does or doesn’t do.
Ahh. So you support the Russian shill only. Fair enough. It was said we never hear from PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES between elections.
Try and keep up.
But the comment didn’t say “PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES between elections.” It said “they” and that could be a lot of people. And I was under the impression it mean “they” as in “the Green Party.”

I’m not entertaining your trollish attempts to keep this discussion going. Anyone reading this would have extrapolated the intended topic.
We’re done here. You’ve nothing to say that’s relevant to the actual topic and you’re only derailing it further but pushing this.
You’ve been called out. Yet again.
Have a nice day! Was nice talking to you :)
Actually, friend, you’ve been called out. Yet again. But hey, talk to ya later and please have the day you deserve. Thanks! :)

“Green” and “pro nuclear” go together like peas and carrots. Unless one flunked elementary school science class.
