Maybe if you read my comments, you wouldn't be confused.
I am reading your comments, but I am still missing your point. Nobody that votes for the Greens in the US thinks they are in any danger of winning and outlawing WiFi.
Then maybe they should start. I have to do a lot of qualification to justify voting Democrat. If I'm going to vote Green, I expect to be doing a lot less qualification than with Democrats. The only reason I would is because nobody holds Greens to account on what their actual policies are. Which only helps the Greens, because they're fucking loons.
You have to care about all the dem policies because they stand a chance of winning and enacting (or not!) them. For (many?) potential green voters it may only matter that they are right about one or two acute critical issues. To be blunt: the dems don't care about stopping the genocide of Palestinians. That issue is critical enough and acute enough that many people will simply never vote for anyone on the wrong side of it, but they still want to vote. In which case either the dems come around to the moral policy or those voters choose someone else. Like it or don't like it, I'm just explaining how I see it.
Blaming the dems for not stopping a genocide? That's rich, the world is letting Israel commit genocide after they were attacked. Why isn't Russia doing anything to stop the genocide? Why are we all ignoring the genocide that China is doing? There isn't some kind of narrative you're trying to get to is there?
Holy fuck. The US, currently led by the dems, is giving billions in material, lethal aid to the Israelis, while also providing political cover for them to continue their genocide, both in their domestic statements, as well as at the UN. I don't vote in Russia, I don't vote in China. I vote and pay taxes in the US.
Come on man you don't pay taxes or vote in America. Look at your post history my dude, it's clear you don't live here.
I don't know how you can come to such a conclusion from my post history. I'm sure i would get a good laugh out of whatever example you "found". I don't hide the area I live in (Humboldt county, California). I was born and raised on the east coast. I'm not going to get much more detailed than that, but you probably wouldn't believe it anyway.
And plenty of people thought roe was set in stone and the Republicans were just barking, but look where that got us.
But I'm guessing that was just a distraction to not answer the question because no, they can't campaign on policy.
Are you saying that republicans and greens are equally likely to win any given presidential election?
