    Greens in America aren’t in a position to govern. Even if Stein got enough electoral votes through the work of 30-60 literal miracles, she’d be totally unable to govern effectively. You need a deep bench and more of a base in the other branches of government to form a party that can effect changes and run this country

      There’s more to federal elections than winning. It’s always hilarious when people that don’t understand how fucked our system is try to teach others.

          100%. But ballot access, federal funding, and being able to actually run spoilers locally are pretty important.
