Because Greens take insane amounts of donations from right wing donors, don't have any issues getting investments in big oil, don't do anything outside of election years, have hardly any positions in actual government (4 mayors, 17 council board members across states and not even all of them are actually are, that's being generous). The Green Party in its current state is quite literally a scam and should not be supported.

The other ones you mentioned are fine.

Sounds like you're just spewing propaganda from the Dems

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Green Party having no political candidates in meaningful elected positions is propaganda?

Okay.

Unrelated, just more mega donors with names https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20240618164/meet-the-10-biggest-megadonors-in-the-2024-election-cycle-so-far

And forgive me for thinking that the Leader of the Green Party should probably not have investments in the oil industry and Home Depot, index/retirement fund or not. If I can reallocate my inherited investments, the leader of the Green Party can too.

The open secret link is just showing individuals that have donated more than $200, and the morningstar link doesn't mention the green party at all.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I said the morningstar link was unrelated

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure why you included it then. The open secrets link makes me think you wanted to prove

Because Greens take insane amounts of donations from right wing donors, don’t have any issues getting investments in big oil

But I really can't confirm anything just based on some peoples' names.

Dude. US greens are a straight up lie.
