8. I consider that all perspectives on the spectrum are worth

listening to for their critiques. I can't say that I agree with everything that they say - and I did disagree with Counterpunch journalists for their circular firing squad argument that Bernie isn't left enough. But still a leftist critique is worth hearing - the truth is greater than the sum of its parts and Bernie or you or I would be seeing only half the picture if we just listened to a point on the spectrum and everything to the right of that point.

If Bernie gets elected I am hopeful that he will include all voices from the left as well as from the right. The Greens are worth as much as the Yellow Dog Democrats in terms of contemporary crises problem solving.
