(4,377 posts)The Green platform is not a million miles away from ours. Their voters are heavily concerned about the environment and generally left leaning, which makes them a perfect target for us.
If we can win over even 10% of their voters, that could be enough to swing a state next time. I care a damn sight more about that, than I do about people getting some satisfaction by insulting Jill Stein. Because when you sit and attack her, you're making Green voters feel like you're attacking them and calling them stupid. And for what exactly? So you can feel a bit better? That's not a trade off that's worth a damn.
We need to start winning again, and if that requires people to keep their mouths shut, even when they're in the right, then its a price worth paying.
