            What does not being able to find the people willing to join your party and run for office tell you about your party?

                I’m sorry you hate local government, and I’m sorry you’re ignorant about how politics work outside the pointless sideshow that happens every four years

                And now you’re telling lies about me. I have no idea why, but I have no interest in talking to liars. Goodbye.

        They have one example in Michigan (where I live), and he ran unopposed for trustee in Fenton Township.

        Michigan has 1,240 Townships, 257 villages and 276 cities, and the greens have managed to get one position in one Township by running someone unopposed. Even the Libertarians have done better, as Wikipedia points out four current libertarian office holders in Michigan.

            In Michigan? Do they?

            Anyway I’m already participating in my local government in non-partisan positions.
