    You know what would be amazing, if a third party candidate would run and then demand policy position concessions form the Democratic nominee in exchange for dropping out, rather than running through the election and risking a Republican presidency.

      The green party is routinely funded by the GOP. Their existence is to be a spoiler and pull votes from Dems to swing races towards republicans.

      They’re already doing what they’re being paid to do.

      That’s kinda what the WFP does?

      They have a sort of tacit agreement with the Dems where they’ll run their candidates in the Dem Primary pool and then both will endorse the winner, and then they’ll only compete directly when there’s no chance it’ll throw a race to the Republicans.

      I think that’s the only rational way to interpret her run. Even she doesn’t want to run through.

      Edit: I checked her record on previous runs, and omg I was so wrong…

          How on the hell do Green party members stand behind her? Her leadership undermines all the good intentions of the party policies.
