Green Party makes pitch for Sanders supporters

The Green Party, a political party that prioritizes environmental issues, posted a statement Wednesday attempting to court supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who dropped out of the Democratic presidential race earlier in the day.

“The Green Party will continue to build and expand on issues that Sanders raised. Join us,” the statement read.

The Green Party shares many major policy stances as the Vermont independent; however, the third-party has failed to gain wide recognition, with its presidential candidates often left out of presidential debates and rarely making a dent in elections.

“These transformations will benefit all who challenge the two-party cartel and will help usher the political revolution we all hunger for,” the party's statement read.

Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 presidential candidate who earned just 1.7 percent of the popular vote, thanked Sanders for “making media cover Green Party agenda” of "Medicare for All" and the Green New Deal.

I’d love to see Bernie and Doomberg go 3rd Party in November.

Bernie has been bought off again. His poor followers haven’t figured it out yet but it’s not that different from 2016

I needed some good news today.
Bernie can be the next Ralph Nader spoiler.

I don’t think Bernie’s been bought off. Biden doesn’t need his support to lose.

Bernie’s only chance was campaigning and somewhat fair elections.

With the virus, that’s out and he knows it.

We were all waiting with bated breath for the Green Party to start making noise again.

I say Tulsi Gabbard will run on their ticket. She’s not running for reelection and the Democratic establishment doesn’t like her. She’s got nothing to lose and a chance to get her message out. If she gets 15% she’ll be in the presidential debates.

Yes, do it commies. Go to where you belong, the “Green/Red Party” (no, not the great Canadian TV comedy series “The Red/Green Show” (aka “Duct Tape Rules”).
