    I know the Green Party is kind of the loser-dork party, but at least their values are closest to my own. It's a shame they get like single digit percentage of votes, but I wouldn't feel bad if a US Green Party won an election anywhere. I'm sure they would be annihilated or assimilated by political machine, but yeah I could rock with a green party candidate.

        Aren't they the ones that shut down the nuclear plants and replaced them with steel behemoths that eat wind farms and shit out coal.

          Man they're the ones who chose the foreign affairs minister. I legit voted for this woman to succeed Merkel like the lib that I was.

        greens in the US are a joke compared to similar parties in europe. this whole continent is bought and paid for by the oil industry, the most green you can be in establishment politics is advocating subsidies for car companies that develop a hybrid vehicle.

      Eh. They were under Nader. Now I don't know what the Greens stand for anymore. Certainly, there isn't any active organization in my home town of Houston. And as to their activism... I'd vote for the "Food Not Bombs" Party before the Greens, any day.

        Fair point. I guess I'd just be happy with any non-"Covertly or Overtly Reactionary party" at this point.
