    Gayle McLaughlin used to be the Green Party’s best example of what they could do at the local level, until she left in 2016 to vote for Bernie Sanders. I’m fairly certain she is the outlier.

      Right. I do believe that many members of the Green Party are good political options. It’s just they as a party don’t rally around them. They only seem to push for the presidency. I don’t see how they can hope to accomplish anything when they seem to shoot for the moon every four years, and only manage to spoil things.

      Until I start seeing good options on the ballots from the Greens, I will just continue to hope the progressives win the dem. primaries for my local seats.

        This is the key indicator and red flag that they are a clown party that isn’t serious about politics. They’re in it for the attention and the money.
