    the prohibition party never won, but they got a constitutional amendment.

    the point is building a movement and demonstrating power.

      Quick search shows that the Prohibition Party was established in 1868 and Prohibition was enacted in 1919. About 50 years later.

      Greens were established in 2001. I guess that means you’re willing to wait another 25 years for any substantive change.

      Also, it’s pretty funny that you can pay attention to the Prohibition Party and ignore the idea of vote splitting.

              You just keep getting funnier and funnier.

              btw, uproarious laughter isn’t considered a sign of petulance. It means ‘sulky’

                just because you insisted on linking your favorite think tank doesn’t mean anyone needed to see it.
