They do actually have a shot at winning though.

As much as people like Claudia are 100x better, the Green's have over 270 possible electoral votes

AOC wouldn't be shit-stirring (against a party that she once campaigned for) unless shit was really hitting the fan for the dems.

Can you give me a source for that? I saw the Breakfast club interview, and as much as I want to believe they have a genuine chance to win many electoral votes, are they not just mostly scrambling to get enough Dem voters to force Dems to make concessions?

To be completely honest, no candidates are likely to beat the Imperialist/Fascist combo of Kamala/Trump.

However, the Green's have waaaaay over 270 possible electoral votes

Versus the map that the Dems keep sharing

And they're having AOC campaign against her old party (and acting like she's never even heard of the Green Party that she took the Green New Deal from)

That, along w/ forcing large lib talk-shows to shit on RFK/Stein/Claudia, makes me think that the dem's internal polls must be abysmal and they are 100% not winning.

Can we get the libs on board for anything left of "hunting the poors for sport"? Likely not brainworms

Edit: To clarify, I would vastly prefer the PSL, but I think the Greens have a genuine shot (albeit, likely very naive of me to think so)

Greens don't really have any shot to do anything of substance. But voting for them pisses off libs so it's the best option for voting currently.
