Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven’t seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening…

If you aren’t from the US, how was your higher education experience?

    if you’re actually interested in making political change and you don’t like Democrats, possibly the worst alternative avenue you can channel that through is the Greens. the Greens, and i cannot stress this enough, are not a serious left-wing alternative, and you cannot make them be one by protest voting. they aren’t even on the same page as to what “left” means–there is a principled ecosocialist wing, but also a massive crank wing–and most of their state parties are completely atrophied. your time is almost certainly better spent joining an actual socialist organization like Socialist Alternative or DSA, or just foregoing electoral action entirely. look up how to organize your workplace, or volunteer with Food Not Bombs if you’re interested in the second half.

      I pretty much just vote for whoever pushes leftist policies and is on the ballot. 9 times out of 10 that’s green party.
