    The critical issue with the US greens is their pathetic efforts in local organizing and their overvaluing of the presidency. Instead of trying to build power from the ground up like the DSA, they throw most of their efforts behind doomed campaigns that do nothing for anyone. Besides, the only way a party can win the presidency is by replacing another in the duopoly.

      No the entire point of the green party in the US is to siphon left leaning voters from the Democrats.

      When you realize this, the green party in the states makes complete sense.

      Yup, unless our electoral systems change it’s mathematically impossible for a 3rd party to do anything but spoil.
