I am no longer a democrat

­ After reading through the Green Party's platform, I realized that isn't focused entirely on environmental sustainability, but it actually has a deeply developed platform on every aspect of running a country. And it seems like they'd do a lot better than the democrats. I guess they're sort of like a liberal opposite of the Tea Party, except without the irrationality and baby-crying methods of political action. I think more people should look into this (but still vote democrat at the elections so the republicans don't win). What do you think?

                    • every state should adopt a new ballot rule that creates a "none of the above" box. New Hampshire might do that soon. If all 50 states did that it would create a chance for a 3rd party candidates to get into the debates and have a viable chance to win in a special election

                    • My friend and I were just talking about this a few days ago. I really like what the Green Party is saying, and I wish that people would look more into these sorts of "third parties," instead of just absentmindedly voting along party lines.

                    • [quote]1. GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY Every human being deserves a say in the decisions that affect his or her life and should not be subject to the will of another. Therefore, we will work to increase public participation at every level of government and to ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. We will also work to create new types of political organizations which expand the process of participatory democracy by directly including citizens in the decision-making process.[/quote] I stopped there.

                      • [quote]Our government does not have the right to justify pre-emptive invasion of another country on the grounds that the other country harbors, trains, equips and funds a terrorist cell.[/quote]This is dumb. States have the right to act in self-defense, which includes eliminating threats like terrorism. [quote] Our government should establish a policy to abolish nuclear weapons.[/quote]No. [quote]Declare a no-first-strike policy. Declare a no-pre-emptive strike policy.[/quote]Actually not too bad. [quote]The United States government must reduce our defense budget to half of its current size.[/quote]No. [quote]The U.S. has over 700 foreign military bases. We urge our government to phase out all bases not specifically functioning under a U.N. resolution to keep peace and bring home our troops stationed abroad, except for the military assigned to protect a U.S. embassy. Many of these bases are small and can be closed immediately. We advocate further reductions in U.S. foreign military bases at a rate of closure of 1/4 to 1/5 of their numbers every year.[/quote]Absolutely ridiculous. [quote]The U.S. is the largest arms seller and dealer in the world. We urge our government to prohibit all arms sales to foreign nations and likewise prohibit grants to impoverished and undemocratic nations unless the money is targeted on domestic, non-military needs. In addition, grants to other nations may not be used to release their own funds for military purposes.[/quote]Also dumb. [quote] The U.S. must not be a conduit for defense contractors to market their products abroad and must shift our export market from arms to peaceful technology, industrial and agricultural products, and education.[/quote]I'd be willing to support a reduction in the use of contractors, sure. [quote]The U.S. must prohibit all covert actions used to influence, de-stabilize or usurp the governments of other nations, and likewise prohibit the assassination of, or assistance in any form for the assassination of, foreign government officials.[/quote]Dumb. [quote]The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict[/quote]The entire thing disregards anything bad Palestinians have done. [quote]Puerto Rican Independence[/quote]How about letting them decide what they want rather than us letting them go? Fun fact: They held a referendum a year or two ago that favored becoming a state rather than being independent. [quote]Domestic Security[/quote]I agree with some, but most would actually harm domestic security in regards to terrorism.

                        • Yes, I have switched from Labour to the UK's Green Party over the last year, as they seem far better motivated on actually fixing things like the environment and education than the main parties.

                          I was a Libertarian before I realized it was a waste of vote. I see now that the best course of action would be to get libertarian minded Republicans into office.
