To all voters of Green: the Republican party whole heartidly supports and encourages your vote.
FinnMacCool said:I bet you do. Not that I care. If your going to just vote Republican or Democrat every year and expect change then you would be a moron.
FinnMacCool said:Who really cares if the Republicans win because of the Greens?
FinnMacCool said:They aren't very much different then Democrats.
FinnMacCool said:They're all a bunch of a corrupt politicians
FinnMacCool said:ever eager to please the corporations at our expense.
FinnMacCool said:If the stakes aren't so high in the next election, would you vote Green or independent rather then Democrat/Rep? By the time the next election comes around, I'm going to be old enough to vote so I will be voting Green. Why keep voting for the lesser of two evils? No progress to be made that way in my opinion.
Well the only other option is a revolution. . .but no one wants that.But voting for any other party and expecting change doesn't make you a moron?
Have you ever heard of an honest politician?What an asinine generalization.
No but at least it would offer an alternative to regular off the mill corruption whch seems to plauge democrats and republicans. If the Green party turned out to be corrupt as well, the american people would vote them out.And the Greens (or any 3rd party) would be any less susceptible to corruption if they were to gain the status of a major party?
So whay you appear to being doing, is instead of voting for the lesser of two evils, voting for the most evil thing you can find?

Just like the DNC whole heartedly supports and encourages Libertarian voters.
FinnMacCool said:Obviously our ideas of what evil and what isn't is a bit different.
Greens are not much different from dems and reps. Dems and reps want to take people's money, give it to other people, and tell people what social, political or economic activities they can engage in. The only differences between you types is that you have different opinions on who gets what, how much, and how.
Libertarians don't want other people's money, don't want to give it to other people and want people to enjoy thier rights, and we don't want to proscribe any actions except those that evidence a systematic violations of Life, Liberty or Property.
FinnMacCool said:I believe that people are free to enjoy their rights as well so long as it doesn't interfere with other people enjoying their rights.

The ONLY thing I like about the Greens is their work on election reform, as generally they are in line with the LP on that, and both recognize the excluding practices created by the dems and reps.
The Greens generally want to use the state in different ways that dems and reps, as I pointed out earlier, of: from who, to who, how much, and how. the give no real credence or different view as to the purpose and behavior of the institution of government. Same ideas with green shellac.
I've seriously considered supporting libertarians but I'm just not into a lot of their ideas. Out of curiousity, what thread was that?Which is the core of the libertarian belief. I was just reading another thread, and it seemed you espoused faily libertarian views.

Voting for a third party is, unfortunately, useless in a plurality system. Push for proportional representation and then your green vote might count for something.

I'm Green. But I'm voting for Hillary.
FinnMacCool said:Yeah but until that happens, theres no real reason for me not to vote Green. At least I'll be helping to make a statement somewhat.
FinnMacCool said:I. . .hate. . .that. . .woman. Thats one of the reasons why I won't be voting democrat anytime soon.
