That's a cute thought, but if that's true, then let's go ahead and completely stop supporting Israel since we clearly have no effect either way, right?

It really didn't even work then, those at the time just offloaded the real cost of their policies to the contemporary poor and current entirety of the population.

Or in reality, greens have more people in office than libertarians, but more importantly that candidate was not run, he ran as a registered member. You can do the same right now. I guarantee there are ten dozen empty local government positions with 100 miles of you right now.

Ending all current us participation in conflicts while refocusing the EPA to actually do their jobs and investigate the massive open violations of current environmental law would be enough to improve things, and takes no permission from Congress as it's already exclusively the purview of the executive.

She could also focus the IRS solely on wealthier tax dodgers and utilize the Sec to go after members of Congress and their families.

The president has gotten more and more power over the decades, we don't need to pretend the office is powerless.

You read the exact opposite of the meaning there. There are more positions in government than people willing to run for them period. There are more funded candidates that get a salary from their political party to hold an office, but the vast majority of elected government positions are held by people without a party, because quite frankly political parties are stupid, worthless, and inherently anti democratic.

I'm sorry you hate local government, and I'm sorry you're ignorant about how politics work outside the pointless sideshow that happens every four years, but that does not mean the greens don't have a proven track record of getting into office.

A lot more than there are people willing to run for those positions, which is part of the problem. The other part is that it's never good enough for you people. "The greens should start small run for local office." They run more candidates for local office than all other third parties combined. Maybe, just maybe, the corporate lies you people repeat without thought nor pause are lies you can learn to live without.

It is amazing how racist you people are and openly accept being, all because someone with a lot more money than you said a race is bad. In any case I hope you and all conservatives like you understand what you lose when you win.

Good news green has more local offices than any other third party.
