Thank you!
Terrific interview, most impressed with the eloquence of our Green Ticket and totally in support of their views. Long live the vitality of the Greens!
These candidates are nice, well-intentioned people but – sorry to say this – are not at the presidential/vice presidential candidate level – as far as charisma and national appeal and command of the issues are concerned – as were Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka, or for that matter Jesse Ventura and Cynthia McKinney, who are this year’s candidates of the Alaska Green Party. Just wondering whether having such weak candidates this year on the part of the Green Party and also of the Libertarian Party was somehow engineered by the Democratic/Republican duopoly. 2020 would be a perfect year for a third party. To have any chance of making any impact, a third party needs to have either a very well-recognized candidate – like the Progressive Party with Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 – or a very rich candidate – like the Reform Party with Ross Perot in 1992. If there isn’t a chance to make an impact, let alone win, what is the purpose of third parties? Only some type of social organization for their members?
Great interview with the Howie Hawkins/Angela Walker team! I was so impressed with both of them. Really interested in learning more about Ranked Choice Voting.
Great questions too!
If your state is historically blue and IS NOT a swing state AND a “winner-take-all” electoral votes state, you can vote your conscience and cast a vote for the Green Party or other third party and vote will not hurt Biden .
Being that both dominating parties are corporate and its mouthpieces are representing their corporations. What if that we the people create a law to not allow corporate entities or their mouthpieces to occupy the presidency or any public office?
P.S. I am sure there’s a better way to say that.
(Actually I believe there is a conflict of interest with their human entities)
Refreshing to hear some basic ideas about what would serve the public good (and no one said shut up), apposed to the (non flesh and blood) corporate duopoly and what it wants .
I would rather hear from Mark Charles. I am sure you would also enjoy spending time with him.
It is time that America reconcile with itself and include All the People which Mark and Adrian Wallace will do.

Thank you, CN, for providing a stage for the Green Party candidates!
Thank you for doing this. Maybe interview the PSL candidates Gloria LaRiva and Sunil Freeman too. Even those wild libertarians could go for an interview too loooooloo
Thank you very much for breaking the media Wall of Silence against the Green Party. I’ve spread the word among the Oregon party.
good going
