bewildering stances lately. I always saw the Green Party as disaffected Democrats that I continue to implore when necessary to vote appropriately for Democrats. I think maintaining a civil relationship is important because it can be useful on the margins.

As far as spreading Cody's story, his is just the tip of the iceberg. My expectation is for us to have the necessary spirited debate in the primaries to get the most progressive candidates and then fight like hell to get the resulting Democrats elected. But we cannot shy away from the democratization of the Democratic Party lest we continue to lose in states and nationally.
