With all its warts and faults, it works better and is more representative than most. That is a political reality.

Not anymore.... there are no ideals, no optimistic voices, no plans.... this is the first time in our nation that a generation will do worse than their parents and the trend shows the decline to continue. Neither party works to advance in a positive way.... sorry, but this nation became great because there were voices that inspired better.
By saying "with all its warts and faults......" shows me that you are willing to not move forward to not change, that you accept mediocrity and the belief that selling out your beliefs and core values and watching this nation lose hope and settle for what we get.
I'm sorry, I'm more optimistic than that, I believe we can do better, I know we can. I just want to see a party that has the plans, has the ideals and values that show how we can and won't sell them out because the media polls say this or that..... or sell them out to specvial interests..... I don't think that is too much to ask for.

You either keep voting for them, or you figure out who actually does represent you. The two party system is maintained by this insane idea that a third party has no chance. Who cares if it has no chance? You need to vote to represent yourself. The more people that do that, the more change can come about.

But you are still not telling me anything Will.
What are the values, beliefs, ideals and goals the Green Party stands for?
If in power what will they do differently?
Sell your party Will, don't just say "I vote this way." Explain your party and why people should join.
