In this hard-hitting conversation with Across The Spectrum, Dr. Butch Ware—former Green Party VP candidate and current California gubernatorial hopeful—lays out a strategic roadmap for breaking America's political duopoly. "The Democrats cannot and will not protect us," Ware asserts, as he details his vision for turning California Green in 2026. From his plan to implement universal healthcare in his first 100 days to his sharp critique of "controlled opposition" organizations, Ware offers both a scathing analysis of two-party politics and a pragmatic path forward for genuine people-powered governance. With his sights set on California's jungle primary system, Ware makes a compelling case that the Green Party isn't just an alternative—it's positioned to become a true political force capable of reshaping American politics from the ground up.
