I think the logic behind that person’s thinking is that the Greens have the best chance of breaking the 5% (or is it 15%?) national vote barrier, which gets them federal funding for campaigns and they get recognised as a party equal to Dems and Repubs.
I’m not American, but I can see the reasoning, for a real party to challenge Dems and Repubs, they must first destroy the two-party system. No third party is going to break the 5% (or 15%) barrier if you have: Libertarian Party, Greens, PSL, and others. They’re “diluting” the 3rd party vote, regardless of what their policies are.
