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.

"How has Stein fared as a leader? By AOC’s perfectly reasonable standard, she’s done abysmally. As of July 2024, a mere 143 officeholders in the United States are affiliated with the Green Party. None of them are in statewide or federal offices. In fact, no Green Party candidate has ever won federal office. And Stein’s reign has been a period of indisputable decline, during which time the party’s membership—which peaked in 2004 at 319,000 registered members—has fallen to 234,000 today.

This meager coalition can’t possibly kick-start a legitimate political movement, capable of organizing voters and advancing ideas outside of perennial electoral events. It’s just large enough, however, to spoil the work of those who put in this kind of work."

    A normal person would’ve said “careful about putting conditions on voting” or something. Not you, somehow it’s supposed to not be sus AF that you’re raging on about fascism and the constitution. It’s an understandable sentiment that you could’ve talked through but what you chose instead is to demonize the sentiment and ignore the dude’s point while insisting it’s a dog whistle. And now you’re doing it to me. No conversation is possible here. However it’s clearer than ever that your priority is defending uneducated votes above all, like that’s a worthy cause lol
