The ruling parties love to smear the Greens on this side of the pond too, unfortunately. This fact inspires a chuckle any time I hear a Democrat or Republican talking about ‘democracy’. They’re like American Christians talking about how much they care about religious freedom.

The Greens on the USA side of the pond do a great job of smearing themselves.

Here’s the US Green Party 2024 Presidential candidate Jill Stein having dinner with Vladimir Putin, members of Putin’s senior staff, and self admitted registered foreign agent for the Turkish government, Michael Flynn.

The critical issue with the US greens is their pathetic efforts in local organizing and their overvaluing of the presidency. Instead of trying to build power from the ground up like the DSA, they throw most of their efforts behind doomed campaigns that do nothing for anyone. Besides, the only way a party can win the presidency is by replacing another in the duopoly.

“We can deny votes to Kamala Harris.”

The American Greens are MAGA supporters. Get your head out of your ass.

The lesson of all this should be that “vote for me to stop them winning” is a terrible strategy.
