I'm not in this campaign for jollies, and we planted our seeds with Occupy.

Understand this: There is simply not enough time left to deal with another neoliberal president. Long before we're done fucking around with "organizing" for systemic change, neoliberal capitalists will have burned the planet to a toxic crisp.

I think the Green party is awesome, but it's simply too late for the Green party to grow into a large enough political body to effect positive systemic change. We need a POTUS right now who will support us and our agenda to stop neoliberal madness from spreading any further.

I'm sorry, but I personally do not appreciate your eloquent, seemingly but not really pragmatic, defeatist arguments.
