Green Party, Eyeing the 2020 Presidential Race, Prepares for the Midterms

The Greens want no part of Democratic Party’s ascendant left wing: As much as they may loathe President Trump, they say several issues — including corporate donations and support for capitalism — have rendered both the Democrats and the Republican Party rotten to the core.

A wave of liberal excitement has raised hopes for a “blue wave” in the midterms and empowered a new crop of progressive Democrats, like the democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But it has also paid dividends for the Green Party, whose formal endorsement of anticapitalism in 2016 helped set them apart from the Democrats and contributed to a swell of new members, many of them young people and ex-Democrats embittered by Mr. Sanders’ primary loss.

The Greens find themselves looking optimistically toward the 2020 presidential election, but it is unclear who their standard-bearer would be. Jill Stein, the party’s nominee in 2012 and 2016, said in an interview that she would like to see the party cultivate new leaders.

Greens bristle at the “spoiler” accusation, which they say ignores poll data that suggested many of Ms. Stein’s 2016 supporters either would not have voted if she had not been on the ballot or would have voted for Mr. Trump.

“Candidates have to earn votes, they don’t own votes,” Ms. Stein said. “That in a nutshell is the problem with the Democrats, it’s the arrogance of thinking they own the system.”

The Democrats will have to deal with the Green party, which could take a small percentage of votes away from the Democratic party when they are on the ballot. While losing 2% might not sound like a lot of votes, it can swing an election if that 2% would have voted Democrat if a Green party candidate was not on the ballot!

I actually think the Green party should be strategically funded by conservatives at times in areas where a green candidate can take away votes that would have went Democratic if they were off the ticket. And when I say funded, I'm not talking a lot of money, rather just enough to get the message out there to the tree huggers and green thumbs. Let them become the fly in the ointment that just won't go away. You'll see increased in-fighting between Dem's and Greens.

Another problematic area for Democrats are their newer politicians who identify themselves a socialist. What welcome targets.

In Ohio, I read that only 32 percent of Republicans showed up vs 87 percent of Dems. Probably not very motivated, knowing it is only for 3 months.

Actress Alyssa Milano Blames Russians for Ohio Loss

Actress and left-wing activist Alyssa Milano blamed the Russians after Democrat’s lost Tuesday’s special election in Ohio.

“You know what sucks?” the 46-year-old actress wrote. “Because of our unwillingness to pass policy that protects our election integrity, I immediately think the Green Party votes tonight are Russian meddling.”

Progressive activists to Democratic leaders: talk about race or step aside

ORLEANS — Progressive activists at Netroots Nation in New Orleans this past weekend had a message for the establishment of the Democratic Party: start talking about race or step aside.

The marquee annual conference for the left — a key stop for possible presidential candidates since its first meeting in 2006 — made it clear in their program at the outset, that “Democrats must abandon the myth of the white swing voter and invest in the multi-racial, multicultural coalition of voters that make up the majority of our electorate.”

Well, that theme worked so well in 2016, why abandon it??

When you've played the race card so many times that a decent sized group of minorities are becoming turned off by it and are getting sick of it......you know you've played it one too many times.

One too many times? This month maybe.

Life imitates life, eh libs?

In typical leftist fashion, Emanuel accused McCarthy of pandering to Fox News and Trump-supporters. Notice the misdirection in Emanuel's response. This is what leftists always do. Rather than truthfully addressing the issue at hand, they change the subject by resorting to name-calling – racist, sexist, homophobic, and so on.

Obama midterm endorsements seen as too little, too late by Dem critics

Former President Obama’s midterm endorsement list is leaving some Democrats cold.

They argue the list of 81 endorsements came too late in the midterm season and failed to put Obama’s stamp on Democratic primaries.

Strategists, ex-Obama aides and even some of the former president’s fundraisers interviewed say they were perplexed by Obama’s list, which came after most states have held their primaries.

“I think a lot of us have wondered why he didn't feel the need to get involved earlier,” said one former senior Obama administration official. “There are a lot of folks that could have used his help much earlier. And there are a lot of people who think he should put a stamp on the party.”

Identify politics might be playing out finally. The cries of “Racist” are losing their effect and more and more minorities are waking up to the reality that big government is bad.

The commie socialist wave. That's what those nitwits are morphing into. Biggest bunch of rejects put together. All they have to do is talk and it proves it.

Occasio-Cortez will be a big zero in Congress. She will be like a zoo animal......a novelty to be viewed, in a curiosity kind of way. Then forgotten about. Ho hum.

It's precisely this mentality and move further and further to the radical left that is killing the Democratic party. Classical and center left liberals are walking away from their increasingly radical authoritarian politics.

I don't think she's going to handle it real well when all the legislation she wants to introduce for free stuff doesn't make it to the floor for a vote and her own party doesn't back her. She will be the Democrats' worst enemy, not the Republicans.

Mmmkay, so even if the multi-racial multi-cultural coalition (note to Liberal white people, this does not mean you) voted 100% Democrat, that only adds up to about 33% of the population. I say go for it.

And the 33% that votes less frequently than the evil white man. A minority within a minority.

I think somebody already said this, but if the Crowley dude ran as an independent against her, he would probably win..

Her district in NYC is 110% Democrat if you count the dead voters. Like most large cities, the only election of any consequence is the Democrat primary.

I think somebody already said this, but if the Crowley dude ran as an independent against her, he would probably win..

Possibly but it would cause a huge split among the Democrats in a major media center. Be good times.

Especially in non-Presidential election years. Alexandra Hyphen was elected by about 15% of the Democrats in her district.
