Where is the green in the Green Party?

I cannot find any major “green group” with any kind of established reputation who backs the Green Party candidates.

The Sierra Club and other leading environmental and climate organizations endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to news reports on July 22.

“The Biden-Harris administration has done far more to address the climate crisis and environmental injustice than any administration in our nation’s history,” the association is quoted. Other environmental groups, including the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, the NRDC Action Fund and Clean Energy for American Action, also endorsed Harris, joined by more than 350 prominent climate advocates.

What major milestones has Jill Stein accomplished — not just talking points? Who is left with any credibility to back Jill Stein and the Green Party?

The Green Party was created to take votes from Democrats, who have a better record in passing protections into law, to protect public lands and monuments. I have scrutinized the Green Party since 1984 during its early inception, and never found any reason to my waste vote on them. Their financial backing is questionable and mostly not “green” by any measure. They do not have the associations or contacts to be able to get legislation passed.

We have moved further forward with Biden-Harris than at any time in the history of the US. Go to numerous credible “green” organizations for all of the information of the numerous legislation measures that have been enacted.

My father was an environmental activist and spent hours in the state Capitol waiting to see the governor. Having a small business, these are hours he could not afford.
