Bullshit. They have been receiving public funds you numb nuts. You can verify that from the Federal Election Commission. Here is their spreadsheet they provide as summary.
Please go fuck off with this argument as it is 100% verifiably false. This is literally lies that the Green party has told you. They routinely squander the money they receive because they hire zero talent to actually use funds in a meaningful manner. They have zero ground game, they only focus on top ticket rarely if ever down ticket, and office and PR positions are absolute shit.
Holy fucking shit have you eaten their lies, whole cake worth of them. I am so sorry you think the current leadership of the Green party is actually honest. Maybe if we were talking the 1980s leadership, but holy fuck, the Green party today has been overtaken by folks who are in it for them and them alone. And they go out and play victim, "Oh this system is not fair!!!" When their own willful incompetence ruined any chance.
I won't have this bullshit of victim they play. The Green party can suck a dick, the people running it have successfully ran that fucking boat into the goddamn iceberg at full throttle. Anyone supporting Stein is so fucking clueless at this point, there's zero redemption. Jill ain't in this for any kind of morality, she's in it for money, lights, and attention. The number of people who haven't caught on to this is absolutely astounding.
But we are NOT going to pretend that the Green party hasn't been receiving federal election funds, when that is so effortlessly proven FALSE. If you've been giving her money, she using that money to eat well, cause she ain't spending it on getting elected. And I assure you, she'll be out and about playing victim when she loses this time too.
But BULLSHIT, BULL FUCKING SHIT. BULL ---- SHIT!! That bitch has had millions handed to her and we still a two party system. Do NOT be spouting this bullshit. Don't be a pawn in her little victim game. She's a bad person, you do NOT need to be played by her game. You want to fix the two party system? Go to your State assembly, because THAT IS WHERE IT IS FIXED.
This little path that you explained, you're being played by dumb motherfuckers who are halfwits at politics.
No what happened was you lost your backbone and in your moment of weakness you got played by dumber idiots than Trump. The fact you think this two party system is fixed by the President election proves you have zero fucking clues. You know what, you should likely throw your vote away. I don't think you have anything to contribute to the left or the right. If you just stay 3rd party for the rest of your life, both parties can just write you off. If you vote 3rd party the rest of your life and not fix this at the State level, then you're no different than a dead voter. That's what Republicans and Democrats know about third parties, that's why they don't sweat them.
Because this whole "if we only get 5%" argument is a lie they tell you to keep sending them checks. They've been getting money, they've been getting election dollars, they aren't hurting for cash. Jill just doesn't want the job, because if she did, she would be running the party a whole lot like the 1980s and not this current "let's waste money as fast as we possibly can" mentality she currently has.
It's right there in black and white. They're being handed the tools to succeed down ticket. They just don't want it and that's why they don't go down ballot, that's why they have zero ground game, that's why they disappear for four years right after the election. They don't want to win, they just want your fucking money.
They SHOULD HAVE been receiving donation matching, but the Democrat Party meticulously filed injunctions in every state to block those funds until the very end of the election cycle.
At 5%, they get a cut of the blanket federal election fund through a channel the Democrat Party cant throw frivolous lawsuits at to sabotage the campaigns.
Fuck off with your fascist misinformation, you filthy bootlicker.
You know I commented, but you aren't even worth that reply.
But here's that link just in case you missed it.
