43. Yes, people, especially Democrats, should be always reminded of the Green Party

It is good to be aware of the competition. But as it stands, even though the Green Party is a world wide party, that sprang up firstly as a party to create awareness of our ecological destruction and man made climate change, they have embraced a lot of other progressive causes....now is not the time for them to steal votes away from the Democrats. Where I live now, they were voted in in as part of a coalition with a more liberal party to barely defeat a con party. I don't know how anyone with any liberal tendencies can objectively look at them and their platform and have a problem with it.

You agree that their platform on paper is progressive. So you don't have a problem with that, only that they are so damn tiny of a party? I though the US was a democracy. Where a person could run for government if they passed certain requirements. I just find all this hatred because an individual exercised those democratic rights and ran for office disturbing. The way you defeat someone like that in a democracy is to convince the population that you can reach those same goals, or close to those goals, better than the other progressive party.

Calling a fellow progressive, even though she or he may not be a member of your particular group, even though they may be misguided, may be too small to make a difference, may be too radical for you,.... as being the same as a misogynistic, racist, sexist, greedy, self serving, putrid shell of a man (which goes for Trump and Jones)...is simply not helping anyone. They are two very different animals.
