What is up with the Green Party
June 27th, 2004
The Green Party, are they a real party? From this article in the NY Times it would be my impression that they are not serious about winning the presidential election at all, “Still, eager not to be viewed once again as spoilers, many Green supporters here were pushing for a strategy in which their presidential candidate would actively campaign only in those states where a Republican or Democratic victory is all but assured.” If they are sure they are not going to win, why even get up in the morning. Spoil please, thats what you there for!
According to the article they picked a guy called Cobb, instead of Nadar because… he had too good of a chance! If my (non existent) party was running and we stirred things up one year getting 3% of the votes, I would use that for ammunition for the next election building momentum and legitimacy for my party.
I’m now unimpressed with the Green Party. They are not serious.
