any way to get in gauged in politics at the grassroots level so i think you know the role for the green party is to build their grassroots party structure because even in this election of the largest group of voters where those who didn't vote out a 3rd of the population it's going to be roughly one 3rd patrol one 3rd provider and one 3rd didn't come out those are the people we can engage by having a real party structure of the grassroots and was i won south king it does also regarding electoral college there's also the possibility of a right to go all faithless electors right who could give a vote to a candidate who didn't when they elected state do you see that as a pro or con. it's a con one time this is a relic of the constitution going back to the 1700s when they didn't want to direct election to the president you know most people think their vote for president when they're actually vote for electors and in a state legislature can say you lost the popular or you want to probably go well we're going to send the other guy's electors to the elective pilots anyway that's all constitutional n

clinton on those votes and where they can help each other back and forth with the democrats and the green party. so well, i am really glad that you made it about the principles of the party and that's what everybody should do, you know, and it's not about a popularity contest or how we can manipulate the election. if you take a look at the reform party, rocky, the last when the people that were on his campaign, the delegates, he bought everybody and their vote as well. so by being running as an independent, as i've always told everybody, i wish i could die now from the very beginning. but unfortunately, the way how the u.s. politics, where there are 2 major parties. and at the end, you have to choose those 2. it's going to take a lot of time before the americans. it's the educating people for them to realize, you know, that they're not working for you. they really are, it's never something, don't you think? if you know, if you kind of echo what you're saying, i mean, you know, we were america likes, the base of itself is being the, at the heart of the democratic experience and actually forcibly

i'm in the green party. but the greens unfortunately nominated a right-winger this time, a climate science denier and a bigot. , thevoted for jo jorgensen libertarian candidate. we are not allowed to write in here in massachusetts. jo jorgensen believes in getting the u.s. off of fossil fuels. she believes in peace and legalizing drugs, and human rights. host: have you always supported third-party candidates? caller: no, i was a democrat for a long time. working withtarted third parties in the 1990's, i remained in the democratic party, because i wanted to vote in the primaries and have some say. but after i worked for jill staring's campaign for governor, she asked me to join the greens, so i did join the party. but i cannot go with them on this. i could not go with them this year. host: in mississippi, in greenville, we will hear from dale on our line with those who support joe biden. voter: i just wanted to for whoever could say racism is racism and the pandemic is a big thing for me. that is my biggest th

colleagues us who tell you they did speak with representatives from america's 3rd parties the libertarians and the greens on whether the current 2 party domination does give americans any real alternatives. the one percent that libertarians get. does play a significant role i don't know if libertarians or other 3rd parties are or will ever consistently get high enough to win a national election maybe not win in elections but impacting policy debates and reaching out to voters is what we do how it's want to pick up on something that was just said what he said you know we're talking about a single percent support for thought party town today that's right it's kind of spread quite even 4849 for the republicans and democrats so it's almost sad to say that the republicans or democrats at this point represent the will of the majority of americans do you think that as you know you disagree with that absolutely i mean look at public opinion polls majority of americans want a green new deal which is what the green party is for to deal with the climate crisis get the economy going again majority of americans want

there can be a green party candidate who takes away votes from democrats. that certainly can be the case. in maine, for example, susan collins pulled out a win over sarah gideon who is a democrat but there were other ballot candidates who drew away from that and they were opposed to each other. they were not similar at all, they had a green party candidate and another libertarian candidate so they took away several percentage points from the two leaders. that's how you get into these runoff situations or in the case of maine, they have a ranked choice but susan collins got above the 50%. people look at florida back in 2000 and say ralph nader cost that state and cost him the presidency. advocate andumer he ran as an independent in florida. he pulled away several percentage points that could have gone -- and you can also look at the clinton-bush race and 92 and ross perot and how much he took away was double digits potentially from george h w bush. third-party candidates are big factors in presidential elections. we don't talk it very -- we don't talk about

gap is more like 60000 and last time around hillary clinton did not shoot a challenge that the green party candidate did and she was told that she couldn't challenge it because she hadn't got enough votes to make a credible run of it. so this is a pretty uphill battle for donald trump and he did have to go through the state courts before getting it to the supreme court which is apparently his preferred venue to have this resolved but the bottom line is michigan seems to be leaning very heavily toward biden by a small margin but by what appears to be an almost unrecoverable margin we expect that vote to continue to be counted and the state of michigan says they will finish counting it later the attorney general has said that the trump campaign has had meaningful access to the counting that is the basis of that challenge the truck campaigns as they want to see the vote counting go on the attorney general says they have had access and in fact poll watchers from the trump campaign have been seen especially in detroit those heavily democratic areas john hendren thank you very much indeed. or he

member, former chair of the government green -- german green party and founder of the party on lations. how high are your expectations of the biden presidency when it comes to climate? well, we lost four years in the u.s. under the trump wasnistration that the u.s. practically absent from the fight against climate change. before that, eight years of george w. bush era where the u.s. was more or less absent in the fight against climate change, so we have to hurry up. there is high pressure, high expectation, europe has taken the lead in between, but we know we are not strong enough to do that alone. what are the areas of cooperation you would like to see the u.s. administration join with europe? hasow president-elect biden said he'll go back into the paris accord, but what else do you want to see? most important step, to go back to the paris accords and the next step would be joint goals. if the u.s. is taking the lead again on renewables, the , europeation, transport is joining together, we can make a difference. imagine the u.s. together with europe goes to china and says we mi
