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.

    Nader 2004: 465,650

    Nader wasn’t even the Green candidate in 2004. Nader ran as an independent in 2004.

    That year the Green Party ran David Cobb, who got 119,859 votes, putting him behind the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, and the independent Ralph Nader.

    In 2008, Nader ran again as an independent and beat the Green Party once again, with 739,034 votes, versus McKinney’s 162k. In between were the Libertarians in fourth place, and the Constitution Party in fifth place.

    The Green Party has never even come in third place, and several times hasn’t even come in fifth place, in our two party system.
