The Greens don't have much money. Why don't they get the votes? They are on the right side of the issues. Why don't they get the votes? Why aren't they winning offices?

You're saying the Democrats should refuse the big money right? And that will mean they will stick to principles and get the votes.

Why bother? We have the Greens already doing that.

The only reasons people Demand the Democrats stand for these things is that they have the national presence and the money.
