Syracuse College Columnist: Voting Green Not a Waste

From Peter Orvetti at Green Party Watch:

In her column in The Daily Orange of Syracuse University, Keely Sullivan writes that while Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein “doesn’t have the name-recognition of a Bush or a Clinton, she’s the type of candidate voters are waiting for.”

Sullivan writes that “for candidates like Stein, a lack of media coverage adds to the bigger issue: third-party politics has a bad rap. However, minor-party agendas are exactly what voters are asking for this election season — they just don’t know it yet. Despite preconceived notions that third-party politics do not belong in the big leagues, voting Green can be a solution for liberals who think Democratic candidates can do more.”

Sullivan argues that “voting Green is only as powerful as the voters themselves. … If people who wanted to vote Green actually committed to the party, people like Jill Stein could become a household name.”
