Thank you for voting Green. Have you looked for a local chapter to join? We need more people to grow the party. The Dembot media machine and the Dem party are using smears and bought off judges to keep us off the ballot.

I am an Independent and intend to keep it that way. So i am not looking to join the party or any chapters. I voted Libertarian in '12, Bernie write-in in '16, and Green in '20. For third parties, my vote is very much dependent on who is heading up the ticket. Johnson (and/or Weld) were fine for me for the Libs, Howie and Angie were good for the Greens. I would not have voted for Jill Stein.

I was happy to vote for the Greens in '20 precisely in hopes of getting them enough signatures to get on the ballots. And given future sane candidates, i will consider voting for them again for the same reason.

And as an aside, back to the earlier discussion about Bernie and Trump voters, Bernie supporters and Libertarians may differ on economics, but they have otherwise a lot in common. Gary Johnson tried to appeal to Bernie voters in '16 with just that argument.

I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 until I watched him throw his delegates under the bus at the convention. I never liked his capitulation on foreign policy anyway. ThatтАЩs when I joined the Greens. I could never vote libertarian because of their economics. Neoliberalism is killing us.
