i dont give a shit if AOC ‘wins’ if “gaining power” means stooging for imperialism. also, i’m not a green by any measure but they do put resources into local elections, sometimes extremely local like schoolboards and selectboards, but there are only a few states where you can run as a green and not be immediately ritually slaughtered by democrats and republicans, sometimes in concert. there’s really no critique of them that you can’t make of any electoralist party in the US but if youre going to expend the effort to vote there’s no material reason not to vote for any greens down ballot over democrats.
