9. Maybe "the people" in Berkeley.
Remember, there are far more moderates and people who are just plain apathetic about politics than there are idealistic Greens. This is a large country.

I say this as a former Green. And as a jerk who voted third party in 2000, back when the stakes weren't as high. I feel responsible for my mistake, and am now doing everything in my power to make sure people know the consequences of voting third party in the GE.

Local elections are the place for third party voters this year. Send a message on a local level if you are as pissed off about the state of things as I am. Remember, we are not dealing from a position of strength. The republicands own the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the SCOTUS, and the media. We gotta take the US back to the center first, before we take it to the left. In the meantime, don't fuck up MY future by voting third party just because the Dem candidate isn't ideologically pure enough for you.
