Quoting limited to 5 levels deeptheir single accomplishmentSame old talking points. If Democrats had stayed progressive to begin with there would have never been a need for the Green Party...in fact they should have been invited to join the Democrats instead of being ignored and pushed aside.

But keep repeating history and blaming others for your own insanity. It's become your redeeming feature at this point.
There is little substantial “public policy” difference between the Democratic Party and the Green Party. Both parties have a focus on environmentalism, civil rights, equality of access and opportunity, worker’s and senior’s benefits and unionism.

The difference,however, is that the Green Party is an off-shoot of the Socialist Party USA. It is the easiest “legitimate” path for socialists to run for elected office - “The Watermelon Party - green on the outside and red on the inside”. Their membership is drawn from the Socialist/Communist wing of the Democratic Party and they are a cancer to liberal thought.
You mean neoliberal thought.
Neoliberalism has brought more wealth, security, access, opportunity, and social justice to more people than any other system in the history of the world! Exponentially more than socialism.

Socialism has very little to offer but the usual mix of heavy handed government regulation, onerous trade tariffs, state directed economy and high consumer prices (which hurt the most vulnerable). Your beef isn’t with “neoliberalism” but plain old "liberalism" — that is, freedom.
Freedom. Like allowing third parties into the national debates or the freedom to crash the economy and bomb women and children in the Middle East ?
The Green Party does not get on the national debate stage because they only offer a candidate once every 4 years and have gotten less than 1% of the popular vote in each of the last 3 presidential elections.

Apparently, people are not too interested in the garbage they are peddling. At least not interested enough to actually vote for the candidate.

I suggest they take off their green mask of respectability and run on the Socialist USA Party platform and be done with it.

^^^As a party building strategy I would concur...embrace the DSA and run with it....it's much easier and more universal sell IMHO...

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

I would argue the Democratic party is the one wearing the mask.
The real leftists are the silenced majority, the sleeping giant.
