I voted for the Green Party

@Lindsay People have been using the same argument you have as above for decades now, and it hasn't worked. If there was ever a year where a third party could have taken off, it was last cycle with Trump and Clinton, two of the least popular candidates to ever run for US office. And yet third parties barely made a dent. If you want to create effective change, I suggest you try a different strategy.

Well I didn’t realize that was the case. I’m born in 1991. This would be my 2nd time voting in my lifetime. I only recently got interested in politics after Trump won. Otherwise I was just focused on the drama in my own little bubble.

@Lindsay That's great you're getting involved! Thank you for doing that. We need more people like yourself during these uncertain times. I think the Green Party is great in principle, but unfortunately we live in a democratic republic where the vast majority of citizens do not support Green Party values. Government is about civil compromise and reaching consensus so that we don't have civil wars (like we're on the verge of). If we can rally around Biden, as imperfect as he is, we'll have a far greater chance of bringing Green Party values into the discourse and legislative process. Folks like Bernie and AOC can help sponsor this legislation and citizen protestors like yourself and other young people can ensure these policies get a fair hearing. But again, unfortunately the vast majority of US citizens are not ready for a Green Party platform, so the evolutionary journey of our politics continues. Hopefully in a decade or two it will be a different story. Thanks again for getting involved in the discussions
