Green Party voter bingo

1. K&R

[leftstreet]

2. "Mamdani praise?" Is he Green Party?

[mr715]

3. Getting a dig in at the NYC Mayor?

He is an elected Democrat.

[Duncan Grant]

4. I did a reverse image search. It's been cropped.

The context I see in my search is “Leftist Bingo” — and it generates heat, not light. Anyone who isn’t maga is welcome in my political sphere — if they understand this situation is about harm reduction and not purity.

5. The problem is a lot of Greens

Are still about purity. Jill Stein even attacked Hillary Clinton over Venezuela.

[Duncan Grant]

12. There are 261,000 registered Greens and 152,000,000 people voted in 2024.

I don’t see this as a huge problem at this time. Jill Stein seems irrelevant to me. I understand others feel differently.

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. People didn't think that they would be a problem

in 2000 or 16 either. How did that work out?

[thought crime]

18. Not well, mainly because far, far too many people voted for republicans

Same in 2024. There is no way Dems should be losing to those losers, and greens have little to do with it.

[SocialDemocrat61]

19. Exit polls in both 2000 and 16

Showed that in key swing state, the Green party vote was great than the margin of loss. The Green party is just as much of an enemy to the Democratic Party as Republicans.

23. When mouthpieces claim "not a dime's worth of difference" between the D and R candidates

and they get enough loud backing from extremist "Democrats" or "Independents"

you end up with Bush v Gore and the R becoming the President.

Registration statistics don't tell the whole story.

6. Way to turn out the vote!

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. Green party voters

don't vote for democrats.

[vanessa_ca]

8. I know many who do

especially in my age group. And I believe more probably would, but constant attacks don't help.

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. Their purity tests and attacks on democrats don't help either

Jill Stein and the Green Party are not friends to the Democratic Party. They helped throw the 2000 election to Bus, the 16 election to Trump and led the charge on attacks against Biden and Harris in 24. And if they don’t like being attacked by democrats, maybe they should stop attacking democrats. Until then, they can go f**k themselves.

10. Like I said, way to turn out the vote! -eom

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. So we shouldn't criticize republicans either?

[mr715]

13. Is this not a purity test? nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

16. I guess we shouldn't criticize Trump

for trying to be chummy with Putin either?

[mr715]

20. I understand the festering rage

Jill Stein is not an ally.

But Bernie Sanders is.

Zohran Mamdani is.

We need every vote we can get, and part of how we do that is by adopting a platform that reflects our principles and not (necessarily) being lockstep with our party.

Again - I am a good Democrat, but I want and expect changes in leadership. They can expect my vote, but they should act as though they must earn it.

To be clear, I resented BOTH Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders for hamstringing the campaign of my preferred candidate - Senator and Secretary Clinton. But that doesn't blind me to the damn good ideas of both Obama and Sanders.

Jill Stein? Nothing and nobody. Forget about her. She is a gadfly designed to divide us. Stop bringing her up.


Criticism with the intent to improve is healthy. I criticize our leaders. I dismiss the opposition. I don't want to help them. I'm not going to say Thune should employ X tactics or Y. I reserve the right, as a good Democrat and a reliable vote, to request Schumer do certain things.

[SocialDemocrat61]

21. I support democrats

And I will criticize anyone who doesn’t, Jill Stein included and will not be censured.

[mr715]

22. So

You will have checked off the "Mamdani Praise" on your leftist bingo card?

[SocialDemocrat61]

24. That is not a criticism of Mamdani

nor meant to be. Plus it’s one out of 16 squares in total. Please don’t fail to see the forest for the trees.

[mr715]

25. Listen...

We fight for the same team. I enjoy the banter, and I suspect we both know where we are coming from.

"Don't fail to see the forest for the trees," cuts both ways. Sometimes you end up walking straight into a trunk.

[SocialDemocrat61]

26. If you mean the Democratic Party

I agree. But the Green party is not the same team and never have been. Even AOC called them out. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/18/green-party-jill-stein-election

[mr715]

27. I shall go on the record

I oppose the green party.

I oppose 3rd parties.

[SocialDemocrat61]

28. Good to know

[BluesRunTheGame]

11. The only time I ever hear about the Green Party is when someone on DU...

…mentions them.

Thanks for keeping them alive…..I guess.

[SocialDemocrat61]

17. Lucky you.
