It’s not like the Green party has a shot at the presidency at all. If they wanted to make a difference they could caucus with Democrats and try to push them to the left.
But no it’s just about brand awareness for goofy pseudoscience bullshit. And of course making it more likely that Trump will win.
Better yet, democrats could caucus with 3rd parties. That whole ‘push them left’ is bullshit that never happens. We heard that in 2020 and we ended up with another neolib that’s condoning and funding ethnic cleansing.
We’ve done it the liberal way for decades and that doesn’t work.
The party has moved demonstrably left in even the last decade.
And it does caucus with non Democrats. You’ve got Bernie and Angus King. There’s a socialist in Virginia too. I think Sinema actually started out that way too, as a Green. Clearly, if a third party candidate can win in the primaries, Democrats are fine supporting them, or at least not running a spoiler.
The key part is winning a primary. If they can’t get the majority of Democrat voters, they aren’t going to come close to winning a general.

Being to the right of Reagan is not demonstrably to the left. Bernie is now every bit a neolib POS like the rest of them.
