      A third party candidate. The US has 2 real political parties. Democrats see voting for a Green party candidate as spoiling the chances for the Democratic candidate because only left leaning people would vote Green and this effectively splits the vote.

          What is your point? Corollary between left leaning voters and the Green party? Duh!? I don’t understand what you are trying to say.

            i’m saying most other parties do not lean left, including the democrats. if democrats are worried about splitting a vote with greens, they could vote for the green candidate.

              Well when compared to socialist/communist ideology it’s definitely more right but the Democratic party is the only realistic hope leftist people have in the United States.
