        there’s not one Green Party member of Congress as of 2024.

        this has nothing to do with what I said

          Again, what is the point if you never win?

          Please answer the question.

          I’m pretty sure you can’t, but in case someone else stumbles on this I want it shown that you couldn’t

          And exactly what good are those votes doing if the Greens can’t win any elections?

          The point of running isn’t to make nice speeches, it’s to get elected and make real changes.

          Again, what is the point if you never win?

            the prohibition party never won, but they got a constitutional amendment.

            the point is building a movement and demonstrating power.

              Quick search shows that the Prohibition Party was established in 1868 and Prohibition was enacted in 1919. About 50 years later.

              Greens were established in 2001. I guess that means you’re willing to wait another 25 years for any substantive change.

              Also, it’s pretty funny that you can pay attention to the Prohibition Party and ignore the idea of vote splitting.

                    if you don’t know about the most successful third party in America that never won an election, you should probably not be the one teaching about third parties
