The Harris and Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.

What did you expect? The election cycle do be like that.

If those "green voters" actually gave a shit about getting their candidate elected, you'd hear from them for more than 2 months every 4 years.

But no, that was never the goal. Their goal was for Trump to win

And do what, canvas when there's no election and get even more doors slammed in your face.

Yeah the green party isn't campaigning in the off season, but neither are Republicans or democrats because nobody cares. Half the people only pay attention to politics the week before the election.

You know there's more than just the presidency... Right? Right? Building locally gcssroots doesn't mean showing up for the presidential cycle every four years. You understand this, right?

IMHO the local communities on Lemmy are still way too small. So you're mostly going to see discussion of national or global politics here.

No. We can go look up right now haw many state and federal positions are held by green parties

I'm not disputing that it's few. I'm pointing out that this activity would be practically invisible to us.
