    I'm saying that those two states already implemented ranked choice voting so that's probably where I'd concentrate most of my efforts at winning state/local/federal elections. NYC and San Fran also have it as well as a couple of other cities, but those two being major cities owuld seem like a good target. The flip side of that is because the Democratic party is so dominant in those cities, you basically get candidates that would maybe run as Greens otherwise to run as Dems and you end up with like what NYC had where there's like 8 mayoral candidates and Eric Adams ends up winning lol. Like I don't want to make it sound easy, but if I were someone trying to get the Green Party off the ground and get some power, I'd go to thsoe places first and focus our funding and efforts there to see if we can make some inroads.

    In that post, i use multiple phrases like “i think” and “in my opinion” so I think it’s pretty clear it wasn’t my initial intent, but Brother Beck has convinced me to claim my rightful place as The Arbiter.

    Straight up insane that this is falling to some random rep and not, like, the president or the woman running for president to call for this

    If you think have a state rep or two that’s Green Party is actually going to make an impact I don’t know what to tell you. Winning the presidency is not why the Green Party runs a candidate.

    Anyone but Trump. We've been over my this plenty of times, let's not have this dance again. Yes, I'm supportive of her. No, I'm not favorable, supportive or a fan of certain things. That doesn't mean I'm FOR genocide or in favor of it. I still think it's reprehensible, disgusting and that she's making a mistake in how she's not addressing it and seemingly not changing her stance (while still hoping once she's actually elected she'll change). And while I don't agree with how she's catering to certain Republicans and that base I understand why she's doing it. But none of that means I'm pro genocide come the fuck on.

    I'm voting to keep Trump out of office. Sorry y'all don't like that. Feel free to block me if it's that big of a deal.

    Do you actually read the things people post? Vote for Harris, I don’t care. I’ve said that approximately 400 times in this thread. Posting every day different things she does/her allies are doing that you think are awesomesauce is weird.

    While I do think the blame for that does need to fall somewhat at the Dems feet, I think the other somehow underrated aspect of his is there's a solid 40-45% of the country that is that far gone and does not find Trump to be unpopular or as terrible as we all do, and I...don't know if that's really the fault of the Dems or Greens or anyone else, sadly.

    Did I miss the convo when we decided it can't be both Russians doing it and stateside racism? (Regarding anything)

    Also: it's a meme. It's not meant to say "it CANT be US racists", because I'm pretty sure we've all seen the news and videos.
