Why do I hate Greens? Here's why

94. You seem to, else you wouldn't be expressing such fury at the Greens

I can tell you what splinter parties expect to accomplish, they expect to budge the Democrats on key issues by taking votes away.

The Democrats have not budged for over 40 years, not since the conservatives took over and promised to move the party just enough to the right to counteract Nixon's southern strategy. That was a spectacular failure, but once they got in, they were impossible to dislodge and as long as the cash flow was positive, they didn't seem to care who got in.

Well, until this year. This was enough of a shock that Perez and Ellison were able to go in and clean house. As long as those people don't get rehired, there is more hope for the party now than there has been since liberals went out of power in 1969.

Just don't expect splinter parties to go away because you don't like them. They appeal very much to the young and will likely stay on both sides of the aisle.
