Today in Maryland, there will be a historic opportunity to end the "spoiler problem". That is when people blame Ralph Nader for Gore losing in Florida in 2000 because people voted for who they want. It is long past time to have changed the spoiled system.
Progressive Democrats of America have said many times they want to work with the Green Party. Now that they have changed their endorsement to only endorse Democrats that means issue work is left. One of the most important issues for Democrats and Greens to cooperate on is ending the spoiler effect.
The Greens are not going to go away. The sooner there is cooperation to eliminate plurality victories and require majority victory in elections then there will be truer representation.
In Md, even Cardin a frontrunner for the US Senate has acknowledged that Kevin Zeese could get 10% of the vote. That looks like 10% the democrats aren't going to get.
To quote Matt Gonzalez who almost became the Green Party mayor of San Francisco (53-47). "Until When? Democrats ask the Greens to delay party building-but for how long?"
