If the Green Party was serious about building a viable party, they wouldn’t suddenly appear every four years to run Jill Stein for president. Why don’t they try to build support locally or at the state level first? Run some candidates for state legislature in blue states and build power. Hell, run a candidate for Congress even.

They don’t do this because they aren’t serious.

Or, start by focusing on County Commissioner and/or city council seats.

They are serious but the deck is stacked against them by the two parties that make the rules. In surveys, about 2/3rds of Americans say they want a third party. Europe is full of them, yet somehow they never break through in the States. That seems more structural than a lack of some very passionate people willing to build a party and some people that would like other options being unwilling to vote for them.

And there are about 150 Green office holders in state and local government.
