You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

Posting a link to a handful of names on sporadic ballots across the US is a dumb person’s idea of what “serious electoral effort” is.
Son, I am disappoint.
I remember that green party candidate in AZ a few years back had more funding from Republicans lmao.
They usually do.
As in from Republican voters? Who cares? If from politicians, then there might be some weird political games with that candidate.
But besides, that's really your concern? Democrats get funding from billionaire imperialists and arms-dealing weapons-manufacturer death-mechants. Which have successfully lobbied for the expansion of militarism for decades which has proven incredibly profitable and is also destroying the planet faster than almost anything
Both duopoly parties get funding from the worst racketeers, liars, and murderers of the world; the richest most monstrous exploiters that exist. I'm not voting Green, I'm voting for Claudia De La Cruz for PSL
but taking swings against the greens who are one of the few taking anti-war stances vs these duopoly-of-imperialists who are unified in genocide and always have been unified in genocide, and are continuing to be unified in all of the worst policies including now Biden doing Trump's border shutdown after deregulating and privatizing some of the concentration camps (a very Republican thing to do), just makes no sense.
The people who need this consent-manufacturing level of criticism of OP and a lot of comments are not the Greens or other 3rd parties; the people who are ruining the world and the country are not the Greens and other 3rd parties. Muslims have been coming out in support of the 3rd parties because the Greens and PSL and West's party are the only ones not being actively evil. Democrats have no reason to not be actively evil and keep flying to the right if everyone's going to vote for them no matter what because they're "((barely) not the republicans).
What do you think a political party is?
If you think a political party (or “serious electoral/political effort”) is just “names on a few ballots,” there is no amount of crayons that someone can use to draw you a picture and get you up to speed.
Pick a candidate or GoTV organization to volunteer with for a while and come back after that experience.
Did do that, helped several greens get elected. The green party has more grassroots support than any dem pres candidate in history. You have billionaires, racist soccer moms, aipac, and no real humans on your side.
Do you have a source or was this bullshit pulled from your own ass?

Source is the experience outside your rich/upper middle class white bubble.
Yes they are a much smaller political party, that doesnt mean theyre not putting in serious effort
The one guy running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation commission is the only one I saw running in the short of race where the Greens have a chance to affect change. Running for the federal House or Senate isn't where they should be focusing their efforts until they build a base of support.
Why not run for the House? A seat has 750k-800k population and quite a few districts are much further left then US average. If a further left candidate would run its those seats, that would force the Democrats to move left.
That'd take more effort than bitching on the internet.
As history has shown, it would actually make them court the right even harder.
Whoah whoah whoah. They shouldn't run for state-level office until they're landslide winning every mayoral election and student council.
