don’t dogpile them. i just wanted to vent.
I’m not familiar with this particular case, but in general it’s completely reasonable to not be a single-issue voter dedicated to one party. Politics is complicated and parties have broad (sometimes conflicting) platforms. Even when one party clearly fits your ideals, occasionally they have a particular candidate that you just can’t get behind.
it just seems to me that they could stay the fuck out of it instead of actively trashing the green party voters.
Not voting for the green party doesn’t mean you don’t want or fight for better climate policy. That sort of thinking is what’s gotten us into this “voting against them” mess.
You can be anywhere on the political spectrum and still be an environmentalist. E.g., historically, hunters have been at the forefront of conservationism, if only so that they can continue to hunt wild animals. Many capitalists are “green” if only to carve a niche for their products, e.g., The Muskrat.
