    If you like the ideas of the Green Party, vote for them at the local level. The fact that they don’t seem to want to govern at the local level is enough for me to ignore them as an option.

      vote for them at the local level.

      They only run in a handful of local races. I’ve lived in both a red state and a blue state- Indiana and California- in multiple districts and I have never once seen a green party candidate on the local level.

        That is literally my point. Ignore them until they seem to want governance as opposed to only seeing them in national headlines tilting at windmills. It’s worthless.

        If you like Stein’s platform, voting for Stein will decrease the likelihood of you ever seeing such a policy implemented. If, say, a state rep. runs on a Green platform, they would likely get my vote.
