Forum Post: I met a Green Party candidate for the Senate yesterday.

Posted 8 years ago on Oct. 28, 2015, 8:53 a.m. EST by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ
This content is user submitted and not an official statement

I was attending an industry conference yesterday and was approached by a Green Party candidate for the Senate telling me he supported our industry.

I told "I'm sorry but I'm still pissed off about 2000 and Gore", he said "Did you know more Democrats voted for Bush than Nader?"

I said "I know that if Nader had campaigned across the nation in support of Gore he would have won."

Then he pulled out the old "nobody owns my vote" so I said "I don't want any Republican to win under any circumstance!" I started to get some "amens" and "me either" from the crowd so he stepped away, it's good to see the people haven't forgotten.....

this is the sort of thing stupid people say because they don't understand numbers, these are not serious people who someday may have an effect on changing things these are ego whore idiots, like yourself shadz, more republicans voted for Gore than dems for Nader as well it is the nature of lots of people doing stuff, but the ego whore Nader could have help elect the most environmentally aware person we could have ever had at a time when the world desperately needed it but the shithead Nader and ALL who supported him decided the world and climate change didn't matter as much as their dream of having a political party so the shithead political hacks ran Nader.

[-] 4 points by ImNotMe (1488) 8 years ago

But what was your reply?! Did you even answer the question directly? Did you think about what a HUGE question that really is? Or - that it may allude to the very important point that lots of Dem voters seem to think voting for The Repugnants is somehow ok because they don't perceive that much difference? What does that tell you? That Dems are too close to Reptile Policy Positions OR.. that they are NOT different enough?! While you are at it, you may as well ask yourself; would there be a Bernie POTUS run without OWS seeding the memes & changing the language and projecting the many possibilities for a ''Political Revolution'' in the US? Gore didn't challenge a Stolen Election so STOP fixating on Ralph Nader or face:

Study those links and going forward re. the 2nd one .. ask how Sanders must speak to those not voting and while you're at it, try to cogitate over the following too - if you can control your apoplexy enough, lol:

The'Heist' link above has significant cameos from Sanders and Warren & refs.the 'Powell Memo', maybe The Most Significant anti-99% document in history ... http://reclaimdemocracy.org/powell_memo_lewis/

You'd be advised to watch ''Heist'' & read 'The Powell Memo' and to stop blaming non-voters because it's The Pols and The Corporations (esp. The Bankers) who are The Problem! + Did you watch this vid. btw..

More Republicans voted for Gore than dems voted for Nader as well it is a stupid statement that results from the fact that there are huge numbers involved and while Green support is tiny it was large enough to put W in the White House and kill the planet in 2000. The fact is that Nader should have supported Gore anybody who gave a damn about the future did, the ego whores and political hacks that run the Green Party of course did not and America got President W Bush, but it didn't have to be that way, life in America could have been better.

Do you ever ponder the evil that is the GOP and wither or not they should be defeated?

[-] 2 points by ImNotMe (1488) 8 years ago

Gore didn't challenge a Stolen Election so STOP fixating on Ralph Nader & the Greens, you DNC clone! Go look at Ralph Nader's record for The 99% over a 50 year period and then go try to stand it up against that 0.01% Patrician WASP, that you love. Re.''while Green support is tiny it was large enough to put W in the White House'' .. that is such total crap, and is spewed in order to absolve Gore and The Corporate Jackasses from ANY responsibility for 2000 but please do remind us all as to wtf the excuse is for 2004!

Fk the GOP and all those who sail in it but do you, yourself, ever actually fkn ''ponder the evil that is the'' GOP-Lite?! Consider - Clinton and NAFTA / Glass Steagall Repeal + Wall St. enabling & Obomber, with TPP/TTIP/TiSA / Drone Wars / Wall Street let offs etc! I get that all the links and references are a bit too much for you sometimes,so just try these three and then do try to see what you can make of them now:

Screw whoTF voted for who in Past Bull-Shit Elections; worry about voter suppression and turnout now! Stick with Bernie for as long as u can, as NO other US paRDisan Pol says/does "Political Revolution"!

You are more of a Duopoly Addict - than you are a Democrap Shill and no doubt your kith and kin in deep red Arizona, loved a Bush Presidency too .. leaving the lone-liberal in your family (that'd be you btw!) irked and annoyed. I get that .. BUT taking out your ire on non-Dem-addicts here on this OWS-Forum, is just so much more projection and transference on your part, yet again! You will never have anything to offer The Disenfranchised, The Dispossessed or The Disaffected .. other than your, really rather conservative - ''Corporate Elephant / Corporate Donkey - Kabuki''. Good luck with inspiring the young with that Steaming Pile Of Horse Shit! However, here's where the action is right now though...

Go on, go get your noisey head around those but also see how popular Bernie is with young people & then ask yourself why? Because they want ''more of the same'' - pushed by the likes of ''liberals'' - like yourself? Nope! If and when the DNC lose their nerve and slide Bernie out and re-hitch their wagons to Hitlary's Donkey - you'll be here telling us all to kiss (or worse) HRC's ass, so you are the hack really! Stay stuck in your time-warp, fighting 2000 on a Groundhog Day Basis, OR wake up to yourself asap!

''Why Are Democrats Running as Republicans?!'' - by Thom Hartmann and team:

Now you're going to have to take your ass-hat off to read that, so good luck with that! How about I help?

By excerpting: ''Ever since the "centrist" (aka corporatist) "New Democrats" staged their coup back in the late 1980s and recruited Gov. Bill Clinton, most Democrats have run for office and governed as Republicans-lite.

''Instead of pushing progressive values and populist economics, they call for welfare "reform," talk about how cutting Social Security might be a good idea, and support awful trade deals like NAFTA & the TPP.

''Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough, they also take in millions of dollars in donations from the fat cats on Wall Street, big Pharma & the so-called "defense" industry.'' Interesting, huh?! Or is TH a GOP enabler?

verum ex absurdo ...

[-] -1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

So you would prefer the GOP win so things will get worse so you can build support? that's what one of you said, just before he stopped posting i guess telling the truth got him all flustered, but is that why you are always pushing to elect the GOP so things will get so bad people will turn to the Greens?

I never claimed things were good, just that the GOP is pure evil and must be killed before it kills America.

[-] 4 points by ImNotMe (1488) 8 years ago

I'd prefer you stopped wearing your ass as a hat: no more; no less!

Your simplistic, reactionary nonsense shows your mind is a mess,

Reducing everything down to the Duopoly Binary is, I must confess

A bore & a chore that is both dark and dumb - but now I do digress.

Just watch the Full 23rd November show and pick out what is best!

From the above & the previous 'Truth-Out' link .. ''It's time for Democrats to embrace and run on their party's core values, the kind of values represented by people like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and ... Bernie Sanders -- who up until recently didn't even call himself a Democrat!

''That's the only way Democrats can hope to win elections in red states again.

''It really is that simple, because, as Harry Truman once said, "Given a choice between a Republican and a Democrat who acts like a Republican; the voters will pick the Republican every time!"

So is it ''time for the Democratic Party to stop promoting Democrats who act like Republicans & return to the progressive roots and values laid out and championed by truly progressive presidents like FDR''?!

Go ahead you tell me how it don't matter who wins, or how you see the election turning out, you can say "duopoly" all you want to but it will never erase the crap W Bush did after YOU put him in office.

[-] 2 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

Please provide examples of what Bush did so I can show you the same thing from Dem administrations.

I havent given up on you Facts. I know you are thick headed, but the sooner we can take that 20% of the population that still really supports the D/R nonsense (that would be you, the other 80% are sick of it), the sooner we can start returning power to people.

With that being said, its time for some more education courtesy of, as usual, me :)

Examples?

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

Are you really so anxious to to defend the W Bush administration? OK he cut taxes and took us from surplus to deficit, your turn...

remember it's a two part test first you have to prove it won't be either a D or R who wins and that if it is an R instead of D the R isn't any worse, so go ahead turbo....make your case I will read every word....

[-] 2 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

Here's a VERY basic chart for you to show you that the debt is a one way clock, as is the surplus. I really thought you would have something better than this, ugh.

http://cedarcomm.com/~stevelm1/Debt_GDP.png

Here is one as a percentage of GDP: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/US_Federal_Debt_as_Percent_of_GDP_by_President_(1940_to_2014).png

I would have thought maybe you would of said how Bush brought down the towers, that would have been more fun.

If you are looking to prove who is the worse in this instance, well, sorry, but Obomber takes the cake on that one, the current standard bearer for backwards surplus lol.

But make no mistake, whoever is next WILL be worse, because this train doesnt go in reverse.

[-] -1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

ok so I knew you were stupid as shit so I should not be surprised but the chart you linked to clearly shows the debt decreasing during the Clinton years which reflects the surplus, Alan Greenspan under oath said we were on track to pay the debt in full, your chart shows this as well, but you are too stupid to know how to read it

[-] 2 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

A temporary reduction in the increase is not reason to celebrate, and clearly was an anomaly when looked at over the last 100 years.

He reads your posts, he knows you don't promote R's but his final sentence concludes that: "you will in the end support and elect the GOP like you always do", thankfully, he didn't blame someone I now admire, Ralph Nader as he normally does.

Your last sentence he won't answer, or at least he wouldn't to me, "WTF do you actually and honestly think OWS is all about?!" Your entire response was right on.

you have never posted a thing about the GOP, you are always attacking the Dems you are a puppet of the 1% electing the GOP to help expand their power, you don't give a damn about addressing wealth inequality and your posts shows this your only interest is attacking the Dems,

I have been watching this process a long time I see the one consistent thing one can always count on is that the GOP will work to make the rich richer and money more powerful, if we are to do anything about this we must remove them from office, you are so blind stupid you can't see this and so the 1% use you as a puppet

No one ever suggested that. I propose a mass decentralization. Communities are more than able to provide healthcare to everyone, its the sociopaths in the Feds and the Insurance and Pharma rackets that want to control everything.

Really? you want me to make a list of how Al Gore and W Bush are different, OK let's start on the environment Al Gore opposed stuff like the keystone pipeline and supported the climate treaties W bush supports more drilling for oil and oppose the climate treaty, want to smash on that for a bit?

[-] 4 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

Yes, I'll smash that one out of the park.

Al Gore supported moving all of our factories to Mexico and China via GATT and NAFTA, countries with no environment laws whatsoever. Those treaties also opened up the doors for many other countries with rules to do the same.

The overwhelming vast majority of the environmental pollution comes from these countries, which would have never happened without those treaties being signed.

We wont get into the decimation of labor here because of it, but its worth noting.

No amount of fake environmental standards or pr nonsense about "opposition" will ever undo what those two treaties did to wreck the entire planet. Pollution is a global game.

Bill and Al were just smart enough to realize if the government moved it all out of here so that you personally cant see most of it, you would think everything is fine.

''The Democratic Party has been working hard at co-opting Occupy Wall Street .. since Day One. Why? Because they left their "left" behind a long time ago and they know it. But this movement, the Occupy Movement is amorphous and it is an idea, not something they can actually takeover so easily - though they work hard at it. They don't get it, that Occupy is not about the status quo, it's not about this political party or that political party. It's about fairness and justice and equality and human rights in the whole, in the global sense of the whole.''- from 2 of your own forum-posts:

So if you dont really like OWS, and you dont support anyone outside of the Dem party, what on earth are you doing here? And why do you spend so much of your time throughout the week posting here?

People should at least try and change the situation, I realize you are quite happy with the level of wealth inequality however those who wish to do something about it would do well to use their ballot to create change, voting for third parties does nothing but help the GOP win, and ensure more war and wealth inequality, which I know is fine with you because you are more likely to get a tax cut with the GOP in charge.

I vote to defeat the GOP, I don't always win but when I do things get better, when the GOP wins things get much worse, you don't give a damn about anything but getting a tax cut so of course you are happy with the GOP winning. I don't doubt there are people stupid enough to believe your bullshit,but I know the truth you support the GOP because they cut your taxes and that's the only thing you care about.

I think your insane babbling has actually helped DKA to look inward and see a few things about some of his postings backing Democrats.

Keep up the good work. Insane ramblings like this only make Democrat/Republican supporters look that much more crazy.

What's cute is you think we can destroy "the system" but we can't kill the GOP, you are so darn CUTE!

[-] -1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

you are the Republican supporter, you support the system with your blind love of tax cuts, I have laid out a clear and possible path that will bring down the entire system, first take out one of the legs of the ladder of power, the GOP, it is true the two depend on each other and when the GOP is taken down the Dems will split into, that is how it has always been, this is how it can be done, but you don't care you want the GOP to win so you can get your tax cut.

[-] 1 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

It's cute you think that the Dems would allow for the GOP to be taken out, like your precious little votes mean anything to either of them.

congress to discuss immigration security over ongoing air strikes

[-] 1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

I know you think it doesn't matter, and it probably doesn't, Bogie got it right when he said you and me don't amount to a hill of beans, but I think the truth does matter, if we all told the truth the airstrikes would end in a bit... my point has always been that it don't matter if you sit around and talk all day if on election day you let a Republican win it just don't matter what you say. it matters what you do. There is lots more that must be done but defeating the GOP is fundamental to it all.

at question was whether a public pole would still be allowed to be determined by the public media

If everyone voted with their name| the people would know the count

without the government telling us what the election result is.

[-] 2 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

Disengage? I'm saying only a blind idiot would have voted for anyone BUT Nader in that election.

After NAFTA, GATT and the constant bombing of other countries, you idiot Dems came slobbering back for more. And your partners in crime thought W was the answer.

Personally I think you both are too dumb to vote.

[-] -1 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 8 years ago

`First off Nader had never held office only a stupid ego whore would run for the top job as his first job, same is true for Stein, if you want to serve then do it get your ass to work and learn the job.

Anybody who thought Nader was going to win is delusional, the rest who voted for him are ego whores who think making their point is more important than what actually happens.

What happens matters!
