I'd like to learn more, and see where the solidarity lies in LA / Socal. If there are any Green party folk from socal in this sub raise your hand.

what’s the difference between the green parties ideologies in the USA & social democrats like we see in Nordic countries? at my core values, to my knowledge, it seems like the Green Party aligns more with my beliefs but also at the same time, so does the Nordic Model. just curious, i’m still learning more about the Green Parties ideologies, & i know Nordic countries like Norway, Finland, Sweden, & Denmark always rank in the top 10 for every major category regarding quality of life & best countries to live.

I'm thinking moreso a discussion board style app where platform priorities and policies can be proposed and voted on outside of a convention and with more input.

Granted there are issues such as either establishing a system to verify users are real and only have one account and keeping out trolls etc.

But I feel like that is surprising we still have to hold caucuses and conventions in person when we have all this remote and mass participation technology available. People wouldn't be disenfranchised as much if they got to choose which issues were most important for the party.

A quick Google shows democracyOS as an example, though it seems to not be maintain.

As far as I know neither the RNC or DNC have apps, which seems surprising.

Jill Stein won the town of Chester, Maine with 44.1% of the vote, with 137 votes total. None of the surrounding towns have shown any interest in Stein, and Chester showed no interest in Stein in 2016. What happened here?

Curious to see what percentage went green.

After this election I decided to pursue joining the green party in The United States. Is there a bluesky social media presence, or other ways to keep in touch with how and to stay in the know with the green party, or do I have to keep checking the green party website?

I vote in California, after Bidens failures I decided I wouldn't vote for Democrats again and it especially doesn't matter in my case because California always goes blue anyway. No worries about the "lesser evil". But hey at least down-ballot stuff matters. Even if you don't believe in the main parties or you're not a swing state at least vote down ballot.

This year California has the opportunity to finally end forced prison labour. Slavery could finally be gone in California! That could be huge!

Nope! a majority democat state can't even get enough people together to vote to end slavery. The liberals are already starting to blame 'The far left' for their failures meanwhile they can't even get it together enough to vote No on slavery in 2024.

I'm done with Democrats. Absolutly vile people.

Like who’s going to be running for president and down the ballot. We do need more people in more positions. We also need to vote for the midterms

When I try to research this, the algorithm just gives me articles like "did Jill Stein eat your baby?" "Did Jill Stein murder Jesus?" "Is Jill Stein actually three hitlers in a trench coat???"

I would like to just know if we got 5% or not.

I know that Democrats are going to blame the Green Party for contributing to their loss. Same as always. Same bullshit scapegoating. But I’d like to know, what comes next for the Green Party. The way I see it, the Green Party has some problems that they need to address. First and foremost, they don’t win. The Green Party has been at this for decades. They know the strategies and the tactics of the Democratic and the Republican parties, the biased media coverage when they even bother to cover the party. They know all of their dirty tricks. But what have they been doing strategically to counter all of this? It’s definitely not easy. I wish having the moral high ground and best policies were enough, but it hasn’t been. The Democrats are at their weakest now. They’ve lost one of the most winnable presidential elections ever for the second time now. What is the Green Party going to do with this opportunity?

There are multiple smaller left leaning parties, organizations, and unions across the country. What we need now more than ever is unity among progressives and leftists. What I think the Green Party should do is get in contact with every one of those groups and propose the formation of a new party. Combine resources, maybe even try to get some of the few progressives in congress to switch to the new party. A long shot, but that would automatically grant the party seats in Congress and get it on voters radars. It’s all a long shot, but it is worth at least trying. The point is, try new strategies and go after now while they’re still coping with their loss.

Maybe also try a rebrand. The Green Party in the US is unfortunately ingrained in the minds of most Americans as a fringe party that never wins. A new name for a new progressive party is more likely to turn heads. Do to the Democrats what the Republicans did to the Whigs back in the 1850s. Make them obsolete in the minds of Americans.

Since we’re already getting blamed for this election, it seems like each of our votes magically counts five times over. Just curious, why is it that Green Party votes are suddenly so powerful? Anyone have the secret formula?

It doesn't really matter what went wrong, but democrats will blame progressives no matter what.

I've not seen a single graphic showing 3rd party vote totals nor mention of the candidates on any of the major networks I am monitoring! (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS)

Has anyone seen different?

I’m an Arab American of Palestinian-Jordanian (and Kurdish) descent , and I am voting for the Green Party due to both the Democrats and the Republicans supporting the genocide in Gaza and also due to the atrocities and crimes against Southern Lebanon and Beirut. 💚

I also voted for all of the other candidates for this election that were on the ballot that were also a part of the Green Party. 💚

Here is a photo of my ballot! 💚

I voted for Stein for a number of reasons: frustration with the two-party system, feeling that voting for one of the two main candidates is a vote of confidence that things are OK, lack of alignment with either major candidate. While certainly a protest since I know Stein doesn't have a path to victory, it goes beyond that because your vote is your voice and I can't get behind a lot of what the big players are after, and I find them incredibly fake. Your biggest selling point can't be "I'm not Trump." Definitely got a lot of anger and even one threat from close friends for making it known I was going third party this election cycle.

I'm don't have any particular allegiance to the Green Party. Stein was just the best of the third candidates that had a platform. I plan on being an independent going forward because I've seen what terrible things political tribalism has done to our country. There are things I disagree with Stein over and I don't have allegiance to socialism like many here, but she was the best in my opinion and doesn't seem to just form her opinion on something because it's the opposite of her opponents.

I guess what I'm saying is, I may not be "one of you," but I appreciate the platform and that there are still some paths forward that include D vs. R. Wondering what the make-up is overall of people voting for Stein.

In NY, all third parties were taken off the ballot, though I did see a Larousse candidate.

I wrote in Jill Stein for President because she's the anti-genocide candidate with the best chances to get 5%. I then wrote in Claudia De La Cruz down the ballot for everything else, because she's my peoples and I love her corazon.

I wonder what things in NY would have been like had the US Greens and PSL worked together at every level of NYC's activist anti genocide campaign of the electoral theater. I bet my soul, we would have been on the ballot, together.

We might have even won the Presidency for Palestine, had this been the national standard, unity of all Leftist 3rd parties.

The NY ballot is deceptive, offensive, and overall insulting. For president you see four choices, Democrat, Republican, Conservative, and Workers Family. But between them they're just giving you two choices, Trump and Harris.

This is criminal.

Or is it? Just like the Republicans and the Conservative parties had the same candidate, so too could have been the US Greens, PSL, SEP, SP, and J4A. Just like the Democrats and Workers Family party had the same candidate, so too could have all of us.

Dear US Green Party and PSL, we have to adapt. There is way too much life on the line. UNICEF reported our weapons massacred 50 children over the weekend.

The old ways haven't worked in the last 40 plus years. And have a less of a chance working now. We have to work together at all times. We have to have public debates. And we have to do what they did in Colombia and work together to have our own President Petro.

On behalf of all voters with a conscious, please US Green Party and PSL, I beg you with all my heart never divide our votes again and find a way to always unite our votes. We failed Palestine this year, again. We have to adapt, evolve and win.

Love, your friend.

Update: I realized they started to 2 days ago, finding ways to work together to unite our votes. It's too late for this election, but may this continue until we liberate the US Government and Palestine. For real.

we don’t have the numbers but we have national attention like never before. i have hope for the youth to join a 3rd party after seeing the bs that is trump vs. kamala.
