Shit on the #Greens all you like; excuses are plentiful & the #Dems will approve.
But reality is that if you take the immediate demands of 99% of #US #leftists, you get something closely resembling the #GPUS platform. The problem is that people just don't seem to be willing to commit to fighting for it.

If you say that the problem is the #GPUS itself, something internal to the way it's #organized or makes decisions, then why isn't there a similar thing being organized more successfully?
Again it comes down to the difficulty of leaving the false promises of the #Dems & building our own thing.

I think we'll need something stronger than a #GreenParty in the end. My concern is that we're not even seeing this level of fight & commitment to date.

And before someone jumps in with, " #firstpastthepost makes other parties electorally non-viable": You are making the point of winning #elections, which are pretty fucked in the #USA on all but certain #local levels of Office.
My point is more about building the party for the sake of #organizing & #influence.
