I'm an American living abroad in the UK, so for this year's election I filled out an absentee ballot. Following the rules to 'fold here' and 'tape there', I was prepped and prepared to fulfil my civic duty and tick the Biden/Harris box. After all, we've been told countless times that voting for the candidates best poised to beat Donald Trump and Mike Pence is the first step to saving America. Continue reading

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Harry R. Burger, who is running for Congress under less-known Green Party in New York's 2nd congressional district, recently carried several yard signs for himself and his party's presidential candidates and placed them around an early voting site at Babylon Town Hall Annex on Long Island of New York State.

Let me say that I am in support of Howie Hawkins of the Green Party and the platform that he represents. Unfortunately, nobody knows Howie because of the two major parties blacklisting him and other minor parties. Sad to say, the upcoming election has become a good example of identity politics: The Trump personality is seen as narcissistic and obnoxious.

The system, this system, is inherently flawed. And we are the only party talking about that." That's Angela Walker, Green Party candidate for vice-president. She's on the ticket in thirty states, yet most voters have never heard her name. Continue reading

CHERRY VALLEY, Pa. – Michael Bagdes-Canning, a retired teacher and resident of Cherry Valley, has shaken up what was expected to be a sleepy re-election for State Representative Lee James. Written off by many at the start as a perennially third party candidate — his previous runs for the same seat had failed to break 3 percent of the vote — has unexpectedly captured the public conversation as the race enters its final days. Continue reading

Adrianne Mowry sits in a lawn chair at the Holly Hill Mall ­— an Alamance County early voting location — greeting voters and asking passerbys if they have voted. There is a sea of political paraphernalia: red and blue pickets line the walls, people wear candidate T-shirts and there is even a cardboard cutout of one candidate. Mowry stands out in this group because her T-shirt and signs are green. Mowry helps campaign for the North Carolina Green Party. She has been doing so for four years and is currently a delegate of the Green Party presidential nominating convention. Continue reading
