MINI-THREAD ON WHY ***NOT*** TO WRITE IN BERNIE SANDERS IN THE 2020 GENERAL AND VOTE FOR THE GREEN PARTY INSTEAD

progressives *MUST* completely separate themselves from the Democratic party. They do not serve us. They have repetitively, for decades, made it abundantly clear that progressivism, socialism, and eco activism do not have a place in the mainstream Democratic party.

With Bernie Sanders dropping out, mostly in part due to the reckless actions of the DNC and mass media, it is essential that we use this anger not to become apolitical, but to unite under one new party.

Its long past time for the polarizing 2 party system in the United States to dissolve. Its crucial that we allow more voices and perspectives, especially those of marginalized communities, into mainstream rhetoric. This won’t happen if progressives continue to play nice with dems

Most important Tweet of this thread: IF THE GREEN PARTY RECIEVES 5% OF THE NATIONAL VOTE, THEY WILL RECIEVE FEDERAL FUNDING. Therefore, writing in Bernie as opposed to voting for Green prevents us from having the opportunity to create a bigger movement.

You punish the people on power by taking their money. If we reach the federal funding threshold for the Green Party, the government will be literally putting federal dollars into the progressive agenda. Writing in Bernie keeps that money split as is between D, R, and Libertarians
