I’ve been watching the Green Party for decades. I see lot of behavior which looks like people running to be on the ballot. I don’t see a lot of people running campaigns which look like they’re designed to win.

Getting on the ballot is a VERY tiny step compared to what it takes to win. You can get on the ballot for a local election by paying a filing fee and asking a few friends to sign.

Actually winning means spending a huge amount of time talking with community groups, obtaining earned media, raising money, and actually convincing people that you can govern in a way that’s better than the other candidates.

the green party literally goes to court over ballot access at least twice a decade. you are either woefully misinformed or intentionally spreading misinformation

when JUST GETTING ON THE BALLOT is over half the fight, it’s understandable that this is a lot of what they do. what do you think running to win looks like? hiring peter dao? nominating a candidate who already has both a good reputation and name recognition? if the greens did that, would you still tell them to “push for policy concessions,” but drop out and endorse the democrat whether they get them or not?
