“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”
Try talking sense to some Green party boosters. They are almost as insular as the conservative sub on reddit.
They absolutely will not take responsibility for being the splitters who let Dubya win in 2000. They still think Jill Stein is an awesome choice for president and they still ignore congressional races.
They embody the idea of rejecting the positive because it isn’t perfect(in their eyes).
Yeah, all the ones I have run into have been pretty delusional in that regard. And no matter how you explain anything they just shove their heads in the sand and ignore reality. I would say that I hope one day ranked choice voting makes this a non issue. But I bet they mark only one option and leave off the others. It’s chess with pigeons.
