It's just that the majority of Americans are not going to fall in line with the Green Party any time soon, and with the current state of affairs we don't have time to f*ck around, ya know? But I applaud you, go build up your party, I hope it becomes a huge success. I also hope that one day we can live in a country that has a multi-party system but unfortunately our country was built on the foundation of a two-party system that shows no signs of changing. Them's the facts. If you want to ignore them, again, more power to you. Go Greens!

I, too, think the Green party is awesome. I think the key to going Green is to understand reality. Vote Green in your local elections where there is a chance of success and the ability to grow a political base. Hopefully, you'll be able to vote Green is some statewide elections. But vote Democrat in presidential, senatorial and (in most cases) house elections. I don't think that such a betrayal to one's principles.
