The latest from Lisa Savage in Maine. For all of us who feel burned because Bernie got sandbagged in a Democratic Primary and can’t run in the real election, Lisa is our first shot at making a real change in how we vote. She’s running for the Senate in a ranked choice election, so she doesn’t have to play the game in…[Read more]

Jesse Ventura couldn’t even beat Howie Hawkins in the Green Party Primary. What makes you think he could get more votes than him in the general? If there was such a passionate upswell of support for Ventura, it really would not have been that hard to register a bunch of people as Greens and win enough primaries to secure delegates.

You don’t have to vote Green. If you want to vote for Ventura in Washington State, you have two options:
- Collect 1,000 signatures from registered WA voters. Pro tip – try to get at least 2,000 because the Dems + GOP will challenge them. You seem pretty motivated, and Ventura is a huge draw I’m told, so I assume this won’t be an issue. Then get…

The Green Party isn’t going to overturn the results of state primaries / caucuses / conventions to “give” the nomination to a celebrity. And I’m saying that as a GP national delegate. All the states have already voted. Hawkins has enough delegates to win on the first round. Even if by some event by which a number of those Hawkins delegates get hit…[Read more]

You realize that all the delegates have already been selected and Hawkins has enough delegates to win in the first round of voting? Also, the second largest pool of delegates are all pledged to Dario Hunter who also called out this nonsense on Twitter? Neither group of delegates is going to give the GP nomination to someone who didn’t even run for…[Read more]

I remember back in 2016 some on JPR were talking about Bernie running in Brana’s People’s Party and not understanding that there is no such party. It’s literally been four years since then and there’s no party apparatus. Brana did come to my state (Maine) to endorse an independent running for some seat a few years ago, but again, there was no…[Read more]

The Green Party doesn’t have anything like the DNC. It’s decentralized and everything comes down to the state level. State parties are autonomous and run their own conventions/primaries/caucuses/etc. If you’d didn’t like the way that any particular state convention was run, you’d have to take it up with the state party.
At this point Hawkins has…[Read more]

For those of you who may be following it, the recent wins in Michigan and with the Green Party Lavender Caucus just put Howie Hawkins over the top in the delegate count and makes him the presumptive 2020 presidential nominee of the Green Party. Hawkins is also the Socialist Party nominee, making him something of a left unity candidate.
