(What a bunch of idiots.)
Greens will pay a price for not running in contested states. Our advice
to Greens would be to notice the infinitely bigger price that millions
and even billions of people will pay for Trump winning.
The stance says “Greens don’t spoil elections. We improve them. We
advance solutions that otherwise won’t get raised. We are running out of
time on the climate crisis, inequality, and nuclear weapons. Greens will
be damned if we wait for the Democrats. Real solutions can’t wait.”
But real solutions require Trump out of office. Real solutions will
become far more probable with Sanders or Warren in office. Real
solutions will become somewhat more probable even with the likes of
Biden in office.
To conclude, is a Green candidate running for President after the summer
really going to argue we shouldn’t vote for Sanders in contested states
not just to end Trumpism but also to enact all kinds of important
changes including urging and facilitating grass roots activism and
thereby advancing Green program?
We offer this open letter in hopes of prodding discussion of the issues
raised.
