Someone saying a public figure with little experience in politics is doing poorly at their third party run is not mudslinging.
This is one of the many reasons that third parties aren't taken seriously. If party members clutch their pearls at critical observations of their candidate, they don't stand a chance in hell.
Besides, Greens are anti science sensationalists. Or have they admitted fault yet on being anti nuclear, anti GMO, ambivalent on vaccines, and entertaining pseudoscience like wifi causing cancer? I don't need Republican lite, grifting populists.
Except he does have political experience and had been involved in many campaigns. You just won't bother to learn or even read his campaign website.
The greens change like any other party depending on leadership. Go read their website and see that you're mistaken on those views. Many have changed over time since I first read them over ten years ago.
This is completely and utterly incorrect:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor#:~:text=With%20increased%20concerns%20about%20nuclear,them%20to%20more%20fission%20products.
We have had a technology since the 60s that can reprocess nuclear waste back into fuel. The screeching and fear mongering of anti science sensationalists has been a roadblock in developing these on large scale. The policy of the Green Party fucking literally leads to more nuclear waste than we would have otherwise.
That alone is enough for me to view the Green Party as a bunch of anti science idiots standing in the way of actual progress. But wait, there's more!
Fucking lmao. What a fucking joke.
These are the issues I brought up, and the platform on them only confirms to me that Greens should be voted against at every opportunity. It's a blessing that they're usually as ineffective as they are impotent.
So hey, thanks for sharing their website and platform. You've convinced me that they're every bit as insane as I thought, and unless they make significant changes, I need to vote against them at every opportunity.
I have good news for you then:

Dr. West announced he is running independent so go check out his website.
Once again, the Green party, like all parties, change with the leadership.
I disagree on those issues and will be supporting the green whenever possible as they are the lesser evil to the Democrats and Republicans.
