    Yes, Jill Stein has no chance with the current system, exactly my point.

    But in smaller, more local races, The Green Party could gain seats all over the country. Just like the DSA does.

      They still routinely get blown out 80/20 on a good year because they have no media presence and nobody with a chance at winning wants to run under their brand.

      If you can win as a Green, you’d just run as a Democrat in the same way that Libertarians who want to win just run as Republicans.

      Just like the DSA does.

      The D in DSA stands for Democrats.

      They’re a caucus, not a party. And when they do win, they’ll often struggle to keep their elected officials loyal to the platform.
