I was thinking about the Greens today. I was wondering where at least on a national what they we're doing other then there presence on fb. I really believe the time is ripe for a 3rd party. It's not unconstitutional and even though unprecedented in our history the electoral partisan process has never been this corrupted and complicit. It's a global screw on every level and it's going to get worse regardless of theis farce of an election.

I wrote an OT essay a few months ago about the history of faction in our party system. It seems most change does come from old party's that morph into new ones or are taken over by a faction from the inside the existing party. That is no longer possible with the transnational global oligarchical collectivists owning both parties and all branches of our government.

This really is a duopoly and both parties are complicit in the take over and destruction of democratic representation by the global cabal that owns the place. So why not go for it. I have up until now been skeptical of the Greens and there ability or desire to be a major player in politics. As each day brings a new revelation about of the the extent of the corruption and destruction of democracy, the planet and human rights and lives I think it's about time to actual come together and start giving them a run for their money.

The Greens and their candidate Jill Stein will not win barring the complete collapse of the electoral duopoly but more and more people are hip to their jive globally. Bernie may have been a dead end but the movement he gave political voice to makes it clear that a huge swath of people 43+ million in this country are done with this obvious coup by the powers that 'rule the world'. There is no way in hell that either party is going to be a vehicle for desperately needed democratic change.

Here's what that traitorous fake 'progressive' Howard Dean had to say back in 2003.'I'm taking back my country and the vehicle I'm usiing is the Democratic Party'. Where is he now a lobbyist singing the praises of Hillary and out stumping for the thoroughly useless, corrupt and owned Democratic Party.

Since this election/selection is just a fear driven con why not occupy the Greens and help build there infrastructure in the next 4 years to the point where they are not a fringe party but a real player locally state and national. We need a people driven challenge to the blood sucking vampire on humanities face. Hey it's worth putting some effort into. Bernie also showed us all what organizing grassroots on every level and countering the big money donors can accomplish. I'm in. Thanks for this essay.

but I think we have to somehow get them help if they are open to it. Their techies are pathetic and on a state and local level they have no organization. My local Portland Oregon Pacific Green Party has nothing on their website but an announcement of a meeting dated September 2015. That's pathetic. If enough people joined with them on a grassroots level surely they would expand their organization to accommodate an influx of new members who would make them a viable party to be reckoned with.

brazenly stealing the election from Bernie. There was no other way to stem the tide of a legion of volunteers, massive rallies nationwide and tens of millions in small individual donations.

To pick yourself up after all that incredible energy generated, which was on par with Obama's run, and get back up to do it again for Jill. Well, we see where things are. These fucking bastards wanted to crush the Left. But like Occupy begat Bernie's run, it'll be that much bigger exponentially next time.

I canvassed my neighborhood with a 5 month old baby in a harness, went to other neighborhoods to do same, attended rallies, phone banked in people's apts, donated multiple times, etc.

Hard to dust yourself off and do that again.

I'm still angry about the web of deceit and fraud.

We had a family gathering last weekend there were 6 of us from 3 generations. We briefly talked politics and three of us we're voting for Jill Stein, one for Gary Johnson. My son and his wife were the only ones in this group who were going to vote for Hillary. They fear The Hairball. Strange generational break down old coots and millennials who are not not succumbing to fear. We all should just let go of misplaced fear that says there is no way to break the grip these fuckers have globally. I really liked Jill standing up at Standing Rock.

This is good to see. There is this house near where I often travel that had about 20 Bernie yard signs of all types and sizes and the last time I went by the other day they had all been changed to Jill signs! The only logical choice for previous Bernie supporters is Jill. Period. #JillNotHill

If the Green Party can become more successful, then maybe we will have a two-party system -- the people vs. the plutocracy.
