Open Thread - Thurs 21 Mar 2024 - Third Parties

A bit over a month ago Ron Placone (comedian, movie maker, political blogger, writer, used to appear on the Jimmy Dore show, and much more) wrote a substack/blog post about why he was joining the Green Party. It's called 'Why I Chose to Green Enter'.
I found the blog post to be interesting and thought provoking and I think Placone did a very good job of explaining why, even though he's really a 'no party preference' type of voter, joining the Green Party makes sense to him at this point.

Submitted by earthling1 on Tue, 03/19/2024 - 9:07amWith a promised five days of warm weather, we hightailed it up to the farm.
Been here since Friday and have worked on just about everything, beginning with collecting all the fallen trees and limbs and cutting into firewood and the slack into piles to burn.
Temps in the mid 70s.
