So what exactly are Jill Stein and the Green party doing in between presidential elections?

[Yavin4]

Are they building a grass roots political organization by registering voters across the country? No.

Are they fielding candidates for local, state, and federal elections? No.

Are they reaching out to dissatisfied voters and forming a political organization? No.

In short, they are doing absolutely NOTHING to become a political force in America except when it comes to presidential elections where they can garner a piece of the political spotlight most by siphoning off votes from the Democrats.

1. She's a professional donation receiver

That's about it as far as I can tell.

[onecaliberal]

2. She is going around bashing democrats, that's what she's doing.

[LisaM]

3. Exactly and this dates back to 2000

when Nader did it.

[JI7]

5. Yup. The party exists just to help republicans win.

[JI7]

4. same shit they always do. Attack democrats make money

Help republicans win.

6. Yep, they've been around enough election cycles to have grown that party locally, state-wide and...

nationally to have become a force.

Apparently that doesn't interest them.

Apparently going after Dems every four years to garner donations, media attention and gullible, new supporters is enough for them to replenish their coffers enough to do it all over again in the next presidential cycle.

7. they can always join the crowd at Our Revolution nt

8. this has been my beef since nadar's second run.

9. I was going to respond, "A big fat fucking load of NOTHING, as usual", but then she IS going around

bashing Democrats still, so there's that.

I'd be ALL FOR a strong 3rd party IF we had more of a Parliamentary type system (ala the UK), but alas, we do NOT, so they serve no purpose but to help Republicans. No thanks.

10. They do nothing but run down Democrats

If they truly cared, they'd be running for local and state office.

11. They are the epitome of the malcontents

Only the big, shiny race for the WH is of interest to this particular demographic. Anything smaller is beneath them. All the money and glory baby! Cause they are some of the purest martyrs among us and deserve nothing less!

12. Attacking Obama
