You actually bring up an excellent point here -- the Green Party should be throwing everything they have at places with RCV. Yet, they're not. Those are the perfect races for them to win, and they don't give a shit.

So why are disbanding NATO and stopping aid to Ukraine even policy positions of hers? Shouldn't she be focused on ranked choice voting and healthcare instead?
Stein said Russia wasn't entirely at fault for the war and their invasion of Ukraine. She refused to condemn Putin in a recent interview, with an independent progressive journalist.
You're supporting a lesser evil too. You just don't want to recognize it. And in that regard, yes, people who vote for Democrats and recognize their imperfections are morally superior.
Do we really have to explain the difference between public officials who work in foreign policy and directly represent the United States, versus private citizens?
You're carrying water for people who say Russia had no choice but to invade and that Russia isn't to blame for starting the war.
These candidates are excusing Russia's actions and not assigning proper culpability to the genocidal, imperial Putin regime. And you're going to vote for them?
Good thing then this is an opinion piece from a publication, and not something from Harris?
If Stein voters are offended by an article that a journalist writes about how ineffectual the Green Party is, and they blame Harris for that, that says more about the voters than it does anything else.
Namely that Greens will blame everyone except themselves for election losses.
Probably, but that would require the Greens to be competent.
Says quite a bit that Greens aren't even doing much in California or Washington.
Maybe they should take some of the money they spend on Stein's vanity run and instead use it on their Congressional races.
When's the last time you saw an ad for a Green Party candidate? Or saw a candidate holding rallies in your state?
There's plenty of local and even state positions where Republicans run unopposed and Democrats don't even put up a candidate. Why aren't Greens investing in those races? Those are literally the perfect opportunity for Greens to start making headway.
I agree, but they probably could've worded it better. The pagers were meant for Hezbollah but that doesn't mean they exclusively went to Hezbollah.
Do we know if those 2800+ injured are mostly militants, or mostly civilian?
You've proved the point then. If Cobb's strategy was followed, the Greens would be in a far better position.
