The Green Party is not a realistic option. The best they have ever done is 2.7% of the popular vote for president and they have never held a single Senate or House seat. I think the more likely event is that the right splits into MAGA and America First parties, allowing a left supermajority that then splits into Progressive and a traditional Democrat parties.

…which is a lot more than any other leftist political party is doing. This is due to how difficult it is to get a party up and running, and then keep it running. Which we Greens have done for decades.
Plenty of people have thought they could do better, and where are those parties now?
It makes a lot more sense to join a party which has already done that hard work, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
There is a fly ramming against my window right now. That doesn’t mean it is doing more than the other flies to knock my house down. No leftist party has come anywhere close to challenging Democrat power. All the third parties combined wouldn’t even come close. Throwing a penny into a well and wishing for another party option would be just as effective as supporting the Greens.
Parties do not appear spontaneously. They require work and funding. The fact that you aren’t on board with one tells me you haven’t gotten far enough off the keyboard to do anything more than complain into the void. If you had, you would know from experience that it takes so much work that you’d want to join an existing group. We are once again in precarious times, everyone can sense that we are on the brink of something. What that is, is up to those who organize. Your defeatism hurts you more than I can, not that I want to. I think we want the same thing, and I hope we get it. Solidarity.
