    It's a mistake to think of Green Party people as consistent leftists & more progressive than Dems. Rather they are true centrists in having a hodge-podge of flaky inconsistent ideas.https://twitter.com/MattOrtega/status/1367925901128699904 …

        Ralph Nader has people confused as to what the Green Party is about. even when it's a coherent party that actually wins elections it isn't especially to the left.

        Ralph Nader and I are from the same hometown and this is 100% accurate.

        The bobo epithet is often well deserved as far as they're concerned - both in the US and Canada.

        People hear ‘Green’ and auto-react as its a good thing, without actually knowing anything about the party.

        Its not just that. She identifies as bisexual. Too often white liberals see a label and run with it rather than research policy positions. It's how Chicago got Lori Emanuel.

        The Greens have been coasting on their ballot lines, earned literally decades ago, and presenting themselves as the only viable left alternative to the Dems, so actual socialists should rejoice that they lost their ballot place in NY and elsewhere

        Because actual socialists have spent the last fifty years building sustainable social programs. Oh, wait...
