6. People need to let themselves stop being fooled by them

Their only role seems to be as a Presidential Election spoiler- to weaken the Democratic candidate and allow the Republican candidate to win, so they can spend the next 4 years having somebody to fight and fundraise against (although they will still spend just as much and maybe more time attacking Democrats whom won't have any real power to do anything). They'd be more at home in the Democratic Party if they wouldn't keep attacking the party and demanding purity tests and fealty to their stances no matter how impossible it is to enact all of their agenda overnight and in exactly the way they want it.

The Green Party can go fuck themselves. They helped create this mess. Initech Aug 2018 #1
