Showing Original Post only (View all)Enough With the Shit, Green Party. The Coming Midterms Are Too Important for Your Shenanigans [View all]
Ohios congressional special election on Tuesday between Republican Troy Balderson and Democrat Danny OConnor is so close that less than 1 percent separates the winner from the eventual loser. While the race is essentially a practice run for November midterms, it was a prime opportunity to send a strong message to the Trump administration. A Democratic victory in Ohio, a state Trump won handily in the 2016 presidential election, would signal to Trump that America is tired of his bullshit.
Enter: Green Party candidate Joe Manchik.
----------
Joe Manchik couldnt even remember his own fucking website! And yet, Joe Manchik is also responsible for winning over 1,100 votes, or some 0.6 percent of votes that probably would have gone to OConnor.
And thats my biggest beef with the Green Party; your LaVar Ball-ish sideshow shit is taking votes from viable Democratic candidates who are actually trying to implement change.

You only get to vote for the third party guy if you are so steeped in some kind of privilege the impact of trump and a republican house and senate will not actually have a negative impact on you economically.... if you are not that then you are an eejit, at best

Yep. Republican enablers, and by now there is absolutely no way they don't know what they are doing.
