    You’re literally having an internet tantrum at this point. We’re all angry, dude. I would LOVE a third party candidate, but this is NOT the election to do that.

      Sure it is. At the local level. There are a small number of greens in office in city councils and such, but their website shows a roster that is mostly on school boards and small committees. This is not a party that is ready for the big time. The fact that Stein keeps running for president rather than building from the ground up tells me it’s currently just an operation that turns well meaning dollars into a perpetual grand gesture. I’d like to see that change.

      I’m not american, I’m not saying don’t vote Biden. If you can, make sure you do.

      I’m saying I’m just tired of pretending this is going anywhere. It’s not. The climate catastrophe is upon is, billions are going to die, and those who survive will fall to fascists within two decades tops.

      Just the notion that Trump, convicted felon, twice impeached (yet never removed), is a serious contender for the presidency, is absolutely fucked beyond imagination.

      What in the bloody hell did we do wrong to get here? How are we going to correct it? Is there any way to solve just this one issue, out of the pile of other civilization-level threats?

      I’m losing my mind just thinking about it.
