I’m no defender of the greens and I don’t think people should vote for them, so please bear that in mind before you read this:
You blame the self proclaimed environmentalist party and their voters, a tiny proportion of the electorate by comparison, for 24 years of the two non environmentalist parties devastating the climate while in power which they reached by receiving in every case several orders of magnitude more votes than the ostensibly environmentalist party did.
You blame them more than the foolishness of the gore campaign for not choosing the full recount it would have won, and the undemocratic system it was operating under for stopping the recount and installing bush.
Do you think that responsibility for the actions of people in power ultimately rests on their shoulders? Do you think that there was some deficit in the gore campaigns environmental policy and that the Green Party shaped itself to fit that niche?
I literally think people shouldn’t vote for the greens though, so why not talk about what I do support, voting psl?
Gore couldn’t do a full recount because there’s a federal deadline (first Tuesday after second weekend of December) by which the delegates must be selected so they can vote for President. That’s what Bush v Gore was about - whether or not the recount could go on past the date the electors were required to select the President. The Court ruled that the election date couldn’t be moved, so the recount couldn’t continue.
