vote for them at the local level.

They only run in a handful of local races. I've lived in both a red state and a blue state- Indiana and California- in multiple districts and I have never once seen a green party candidate on the local level.

That is literally my point. Ignore them until they seem to want governance as opposed to only seeing them in national headlines tilting at windmills. It's worthless.

If you like Stein's platform, voting for Stein will decrease the likelihood of you ever seeing such a policy implemented. If, say, a state rep. runs on a Green platform, they would likely get my vote.

I know it was your point. I was supporting it.

Cool. I really hate the English use of "you" when "one" is really the word one wants. But when one uses "one" as opposed to "you", one sounds crazy.

I honestly think a lot of online defensiveness arises from this construction.

I'm saying, it sounds like I'm saying "you need to do blah cuz you're wrong about blah", when I would prefer it to be read as reiterating my earlier point of "if one wants to see Green policies enacted, one would do well to ignore Jill Stein."
