With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.

    I’ve never heard a single position of hers that is too liberal. Even Andrew Yang was given his time to make his case. Voters said no.

    The problem is that she’s not actually popular enough with voters to get elected, let alone popular enough in the liberal half of the country to get nominated. She’s saying the game is rigged because she doesn’t actually have a chance.

    The game actually favors her. RCV would help a moderate like Manchin get elected.

      I didnt say shes too liberal, i said the DNC is too conservative. Corporate tax cuts, increased military spending, bribed by corporations, legislating on industries they own stock in, strike busting.

        If the DNC is too conservative, then she is inversely too liberal for the DNC. And she isnt, it’s not a monolith. She would be more than welcome in the more liberal half of the government.

        If she wants to change it, she should join and do so. She might not succeed. That’s how Democracy works. She’d be more likely to succeed though.

          The inverse doesnt have to be true. I dont want to work at mcdonalds doesnt mean mcdonalds doesnt want to hire me. Part of the DNCs corruption is trying to consolidate power by buying out every politician they can. Which is how we got people like Manchin.
