There has never been a Green Party. The Russia thing is new; possibly the clearly deliberate intention to help the GOP may be new. But there's never been a Green Party. To take the most prominent example, Ralph Nader was never in any meaningful way a Green, nor did he work to build a Green Party.

We have seen incredible transformations of the GOP over the last 20 years - they were always shit, but they are quite differently shit now - as they were taken over in turn by at least three different movements. Parallel efforts on the left to transform the Dems underwhelm, or even don't try that.

Nader was receiving funding from GOP sources, he knew who they were, and he ran with the conceit you can punish a party into compliance through forcing them to lose an election, which so far only has mindshare with 20something voters and exceptionally bitter AWFLs but not reality

This right here. It was always a ratfuck operation
