daveschwab commented on the diary post A Progressive’s Case for a Green Party Strategy by daveschwab.
Thanks, Jim. I think I understand the antagonism between certain progressives and Greens.

That’s why Democrats are always “moving to the center”, which translated from corporate media spin to American English, means moving to the right. The only way to stop the rightward dash is to stop voting for politicians that take corporate money. Right now, [...]
