In the USA, I know that there are various reasons to vote for or against Jill Stein.

One of them is that the Green Party gets more money if she gets over 5% nationally.

Are there any thresholds that result in automatic institutional benefits? Maybe at the state level? If it varies by state, I'd appreciate if you could tell me whatever you know about any states, or link me to some resources.

Maybe there aren't any. But I thought maybe I heard that ballot access becomes easier if you get enough votes in certain places, things like that. I could be wrong, though.

I'm not interested in any other reasons for voting for or against the Green Party, it's much easier for me to find discussion of those. In particular, I know that there could be indirect effects if they get a lot of votes, like maybe more people will volunteer or donate. But all I care about is automatic institutional benefits.

I’m so sick of people disregarding third party candidates and bashing people who choose to vote third party because “vote blue no matter who!” and “we have to choose the lesser of two evils or else!”

I understand that another Trump presidency would be disastrous, but much—if not all—of the same things are going on during democratic presidencies as well. Immigrant children continue to be separated from their parents/put into cages, we are supporting a full-blown genocide of the Palestinian people, there has been little to no action to defund the police, climate action has been nowhere near the level it should be in order to mitigate the damage we have caused to our planet, and Roe V. Wade was overturned—all under a democratic presidency. Democrats have done little to protect our rights, our lives, and our planet. They uphold the same corrupt system of capitalism that Republicans do.

The U.S. political system is a nightmare. There is so much money and corruption tangled together that it feels exhausting even advocating for real change sometimes. Third party candidates deserve a seat at the table. If people voted for the candidates that they actually wanted instead of being fear-mongered into voting for someone else because “they are our only hope at stopping the bad man” then we might actually have a fighting chance to turn things around in this country.

I think an overwhelming majority of citizens would vote third party if it were purely based on what they want for this country policy-wise as opposed to voting for someone out of fear. What really gets me though is the liberals who undermine and disparage us/our vote because we AREN’T voting out of fear. It’s extremely frustrating when there are so many people who should theoretically be on our side (cough, cough… liberals) who instead fight against our efforts to organize. Honestly, I feel like all of the infighting on the left is why right wingers seem to get so much more done comparatively.

Anyways, that’s all. Sorry this was just a long, rambling rant that I needed to get off my chest. 🥲😅

…delays vote on GPC’s pro-nuclear policy proposals.

Elizabeth May asked that nuclear power policy proposals (and ONLY nuclear power proposals out of around 30 proposals) be delayed until the next AGM.

If you are a member of GPC and would like to see our blanket-opposition to nuclear power cease, please message me.

It could have, should have, been put to a vote already.

Hard to find a straightforward answer when I Google my question, so I appreciate any information you all can give me! I honestly need to just change my party affiliation, but it might be too late to do that at this point.

Hey yall, this is my first time voting, and I want to make sure I make the best choice possible. I have never heard of the Green Party. Please educate me, thanks!

For me, Greens would have to be taken over by horrible people the way that the USA's Libertarian Party was. I hope Green Party structure around the world prevents that from happening. Let's focus on realistically, and not insane hypotheticals.
