Why Berners should vote Green in 2020.
(thread)
1. No matter what you do, Joe Biden will lose to Trump exactly like HRC lost to Trump because they support the same policies.
Plus, Joe has dementia and raoe allegations.
A vote for Joe is therefore a wasted vote on a loser.

2. Even the Science says that you cannot defeat a demagogue with the same establishment centrists who gave him to you in the first place.
Joe or any centrist loses to Trump

3. Write-in votes do not count in most states unless the candidate has first qualified to be one.
If you write-in Bernie, no one will know but you, because it'll be treated the same as if you skipped that choice on your ballot. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/2016-election/write-in-votes/

3. Of all third party options, the Greens are the most robust.
They have spent years building an infrastructure, and will be on more state ballots in November than any other third party.
We can't do that from scratch with a new party by the general election.

4. The Greens already share our platform and reject corporate $.
There's no need to compromise our values or platform.
We don't have to beg them to support the Green New Deal; they wrote it.

5. If we get to 5%, we get national party status that gets us matching federal funding.
We can do that.
We can do that.
6. If we get to 15%, we will have met the milestone to be included in the 2024 national debates.
We will then be able to share our message farther that way without any DNC shackles.
We can speak to all the people.

7. If we do 20% or better, it will impact the DNC.
They need to win elections to keep their support and donations.
They will see us at this point and know we are voting, just not for them.
This will force them to adapt or go extinct.

8. There will be no incumbent in 2024.
Incumbent Presidents are very hard to beat.
This gives us the opportunity to be competitive if we stick together and work as hard as we have worked for Bernie.
We made Bernie. We did that. Us.
We just paint the revolution green now.

9. We must put aside any desire for instant gratification for immediate wins, and spend our energies building our long game now.
Saying we can't win the 2020 election is defeatist and delays us getting to work now.
We have to do this now.
This is our moment.

10. We have done amazing things together.
We are not defeated.
We are stronger than ever.
They cannot stop us.
Let's show them.

The smears have started, so I will debunk them here https://howiehawkins.us/the-russiagate-obsession-is-mass-distraction/
Hillary consistently polled higher against Trump than Biden is polling against him, and the Republicans haven't really started dissecting him.
