and our "left wing" is over 90% of our entire membership and includes a full ideological range of liberals.

Illiberal leftists are something else, both literally and figuratively. Thank heavens they're so few, or the world would never have advanced as far as it has -- as the very notion that liberal Democrats need to "struggle" to keep them from helping reelect Trump should make extremely clear.

Those who gravitate angrily to the Greens can only do harm to everything they CLAIM to support by helping elect Republicans. We know not all are capable of realizing that, though.

I wish some billionaire would buy that aspirational name from this dysfunctional refuge for malicious dissidents and clueless flakes, and retire it for some future, deserving retry someday. Its very misleading marketing is the only thing that roiling collection of transients has going for it.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
