Reply #15: it is pathetic to refuse to answer this question

first of all, i made no statement about "showing those Democrats by voting Green" ... that's your homegrown bullshit ...

what i said is that your statement that there is no difference between voting Green and voting republican is ILLOGICAL ... but you want to rant and rave and screech and whine in your ineffective way ...

there's a very easy to answer question here that you still are twisting and squirming and tap-dancing around but you just won't answer ... that's because you are using FALSE LOGIC to try to make your case ...

none of my points in this thread argued whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for people to vote for Greens ... that's what you are hearing but it is NOT WHAT I SAID ... i'd be happy to discuss my opinions on that subject but it is NOT WHAT IS AT ISSUE HERE ...

since you've chosen to get personal, let me simplify this for you since you clearly want to rant and rave and be emotional rather than dealing with LOGIC ... ready? i'm confident you'll be able to grasp this ... well, maybe not too confident ... but do your best ... we're all here for you ...

let's take a single registered Democrat ... and let's have that Democrat choose, whether we agree with their decision or not (you seem to have trouble with that), to vote for the Green candidate ...

now let's do some math ... the Dems have lost one vote ... with me so far?

now let's look at an alternative scenario ... that same Democrat, instead of voting for the Green candidate, votes for the republican candidate ... the Dems lose one vote AND the republicans gain one vote ...

now, here comes the important part ... in the first case, a vote for the Green puts the Dems in a minus one situation ... in the second scenario, the Dems are in a minus TWO situation because not only did they not get the vote BUT THE REPUBLICANS DID ...

if you have trouble understanding this, you might consider an introductory text on first grade arithmetic ...
