    I have:

    • a history of people actually voting for the Greens
    • polls where registered voters say they’ll do so instead of voting for Democrats
    • a party ideology which could attract Democrats but which would be antithetical to Republicans
    • a history of Republicans funding Green party candidates as spoilers
    • an Election system which causes them to in fact serve as spoilers

    It’s pretty compelling when taken as a whole

      i’m of the opinion that democrats spoil green party elections, and if the democrats weren’t on the ballot, greens would have won every election for the last 30 years. and i have just as much proof as you do.

        The Green candidates are all complete dorks. We have studies on what voters like in a candidate and they have none of those qualities.

          you aren’t providing any of those studies. further, as i said, a hypothesis framed like this cannot actually be proven (or disproven), so i don’t know what good those studies would do.
