the trouble with the green party

The trouble with the Green Party (USA) is that it's not green enough. If you go to their website:


you'll find that 'Ecology' is just one of their 'Four Pillars'-- and it's not even first! (The others are 'Peace,' 'Social Justice,' and 'Democracy.' One may or may not agree with their positions on these various other issues, but the main problem is that they're just spreading themselves too thin. Especially given the direness of the climate crisis, they need to be concentrating on this issue alone.

I also have a bit of a problem  with perennial candidate Jill Stein. I fear her shtik is getting a bit old; she's a little too pleasant and inoffensive. We need somebody with more fire in the belly, our own Bernie Sanders. Dr. Stein should go back to being a physician, rather than trying to have a career running for an office she will never-- and may not even want to-- win.
