A lot of third party voters I've known from anecdotal experience are purely anti-establishment. If they are not voting third party, they are staying home. This idea that every green party vote is a potential democratic vote is faulty.

P.s. stop whining about losing elections and be a problem solver. That is the difference between winners and losers. Losers sit around and pout and continue to lose. Winners learn from losses and make sure not to lose again. You come off as a loser.

:salute:The sense of entitlement is so bizarre as they make no changes to their strategy and get the exact same results every time.

In this election in particular I'm sure the bulk of green votes came from republicans who are the "I will never vote for a damn democrat :smugfavre:" types.

Just to add,

The amount of people who don't vote but registered Democrats are probably always larger than green party voters. Willing to bet anything on that. Instead of worrying about voters who probably aren't going to vote for you, maybe save this energy for either folks in your party too lazy to vote or your candidate failing to mobilize those voters.

This is the Dems fault for not being inclusive enough.

The vote difference in this race wouldn't even be made up if you put all the Green's on the Dem column anyway.

People are voting Green, in Ohio, in August... those are people you probably will never have vote Dem

Nap jumped the gun. Fact of the matter is, He was too quick to blame the green party for this loss before the final numbers came
