Every network is showing the picture of Mike Flynn at a Putin dinner

93. You SAY you do.

without actually doing it.

that is interesting.

by 'context', and "their bubble of 2%" I gather you mean that their positions don't have a prayer of being implemented. But that is hardly a criticism of their actual policies. Every great progressive advancement started with ideas that at the time were scoffed at as unattainable.

What actual positions do you disagree with?

Fighting climate change more aggressively?
Investing now, and more heavily in alternative energy?
Less corporate dominance in decisions for all of us?
Working more for the majority and less for just 1%?

I will extend an olive branch and actually agree to a point. I would say that its easy to be critical of the Democratic party's cozy corporate relationship from a position of a tiny minority party who has no real shot at governing. You have nothing to lose. You don't have to back up your tough talk with having any real world political fallout. The Democrats created a vacuum for the left and the Greens took advantage of it.

But that criticism that I acknowledge, is hardly a reason to dismiss what they stand for. Or worse paint them as evil or that they should be hated. I just don't get that.

It would be easy to get rid of the Greens and Stein, or Nader, or whomever comes after that, which they will. And that is to listen and adapt and acknowledge the same concerns more vocally.
