Presidential candidate Jill Stein says the Green Party has transformed political agendas
Presidential candidate Jill Stein says the Green Party has transformed political agendas
Dr. Jill Stein is the Green Party's candidate for the 2024 presidential election. She talks politics and her platform this election cycle.
You're viewing a single thread.
The green party is more interested in messaging than they are in getting actual positive change done. They have no interest in actually fixing the system, they just want to bitch about it. It'd be really cool if they could get on the same team, but as it stands now the green party is 100% functioning as an asset to the Trump campaign and they're doing it willingly.
Jill Stein is not a serious person. She shows up every 4 years and does nothing but spread bullshit talking points very similar to most of the content OP posts. Fluff about how evil the duopoly is and exactly zero about how helping the GOP win helps us.
Greens are in other elections besides presidential:
Californians have elected 55 of the 226 office-holding Greens nationwide. Other states with high numbers of Green elected officials include Pennsylvania (31), Wisconsin (23), Massachusetts (18) and Maine (17). Maine has the highest per capita number of Green elected officials in the country and the largest Green registration percentage with more than 29,273 Greens comprising 2.95% of the electorate as of November 2006.[68] Madison, Wisconsin is the city with the most Green elected officials (8), followed by Portland, Maine (7).
He won’t see this because he blocked me, but he’s either intentionally lying or using an inaccurate source. There are currently only 142 Greens in elected office in the US. No federal positions, eight state positions (though most were not elected as Greens), and the rest have been local/municipal elections.
I never knew there were so many! Can you provide your source for this? I'm having trouble finding numbers that agree.
Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Party_of_the_United_States#Membership
Tho someone else mentioned they have updated numbers. But I haven't looked at the website they cited yet.
Ah, well you should check out your source because it doesn't agree with the numbers you posted. Though it's possible I'm misreading the numbers from wiki.

I just did a cut and paste from the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Party_of_the_United_States#Membership
The Green Party's membership encompasses the fourth-highest percentage of registered voters in the United States, with a total membership of 234,120.[71] The Green Party has its strongest popular support on the Pacific Coast, Upper Great Lakes, and Northeast, as reflected in the geographical distribution of Green candidates elected.[72] As of June 2007, Californians have elected 55 of the 226 office-holding Greens nationwide. Other states with high numbers of Green elected officials include Pennsylvania (31), Wisconsin (23), Massachusetts (18) and Maine (17). Maine has the highest per capita number of Green elected officials in the country and the largest Green registration percentage with more than 29,273 Greens comprising 2.95% of the electorate as of November 2006.[73] Madison, Wisconsin is the city with the most Green elected officials (8), followed by Portland, Maine (7).
This is what it is showing me right now.
What is Wikipedia showing you? I'm looking at the page right now as I type this and just cut and pasted that
I don't have a horse in this race, but 2007 seems a little outdated, and there even is a wiki page for this exact topic, maybe you could use this for future discussions.
That is more updated. I'll try using that in the future. Thank you!
EDIT: LOL at the downvotes of a comment saying I'll use the most updated info from the user that helped. :)
