Any Greens out there? Will you vote Nader now that he's in the Ego Party?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Just want to know where the Greens weigh in

[htuttle]

1. He's not running as a Green

Why would Greens vote for him?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. That was the point with the ego -party thing

he was the former green party candidate. I want to see if there's any residual loyalty

[htuttle]

3. While you might get answers to that question here...

...you are unlikely to learn the truth of it here on DU.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. yeah I would imagine not to many Greens wander around here

though I have seen some Green/Dem debates now and again

7. My 2 cents

Nader got my vote in 2K, largely because I was attracted to the strategy of using Nader's celebrity to legitimize a third party - specifically the Greens, a party my beliefs happen to be strongly aligned with. Nader will not be getting my vote this year for two reasons: one, he's not running as a Green, but as an independent, and because of that I couldn't be less attracted to him as a candidate. Two, this election is a binary; W* either wins or loses. A third party vote does nothing to help him lose. I've never registered as a Green because I prefer to give my primary votes to progressive Dems - though I deeply admire both men, a primary choice between Ralph Nader and Jello Biafra is of little use to me. Much as I'd like to see the Greens do better electorally, it's plain, based on the 2K debacle, that that needs to start in local elections, like how the Christian Coalition did it.

9. is the independent party "the ego party?"

may i gently suggest that it's none of your business who anyone else votes for? this kind of "litmus test" crap is tiresome and divisive. and frankly...who i vote for is none of your business.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Sorry to offend

Seriously.

[noiretextatique]

11. cool...it's just

i've been around for many of the green/dem battles...they are fruitless...and endless. i am sure there will be more. peace.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. Peace to you. Sorry - the political scene has gotten me real rattled and..

I've been shooting from the hip far more than I like too. I personally love the Green platform, I'm just an ABB guy right now. You are correct, it is none of my business who votes for who, I am just looking for a REAL view of the political landscape, and I trust DU folks' views more than the media. Thanks for the response :toast:

13. Like Ralph, like his message, Ditto for the Greens

but I have to be pragmatic this one time and vote with the Dems against the $hrubs.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. That's what I was wondering

I feel the Greens have the good message - but we've never been up against fascism like this. Hell Emperor George II makes Reagan look like Will Rogers (no offense to Mr. Rogers, God rest his soul)

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Yeah, my party is rumbling over what to do now

a) run no presidential candidate

b) run a home-grown Green candidate in safe states

c) Draft Nader (Still a state-by-state option)

It's hard because we are fighting to stay alive as a party, but many of us are also frantic over the state of the Union and are willing to do whatever it takes to get this junta out of power.


Of course, that's assuming that they don't steal the election again. If that happens, and if the American people are wise to it this time, there could be rioting. Not everywhere, but in some places I would not be surprised.

P.S. For what it's worth, I am not a repentent Nader voter, but I do swear I thought that Gore (blah as he was) had the election locked up. So my vote for Ralph was supposed to be safe. Who ever thought that a guy who can't even speak the language of his nation would WIN?!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. Is the Green Party international?

Isn't there momentum worldwide or am I mistaken?

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Yes, there are Greens the world over

just like there are Socialists and Democracts (or something similar) elsewhere.

But the Greens are trying to maintain a sense of unity across borders.

18. International?

I Know Greens are powerful in Germany, New Zealand, and Britian. Look for it on the web. I think, it is.

There is a push to have a International Democratic Party also. Union members have already formed Internationally to fight globalization.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Int'l Dems too? Great!

Anything to stop the globalization mess we are getting mired down in.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Amen

unfortunately we need to oust these pigs!!!!
