I have friends who are part of the Green Party. I always
thought they stood for the environment and protection of planet Earth. Lately,
however, they are badgering people into voting against Democrats. They find
fault with the Democratic Party for defeating Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid.
In 2016 the Green Party pressed their grievances onto
Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy for the same reason. They did the damage that, at least in
part, led to donald t trump residing in the White House. Others not associated
with the Green Party did the same and the deed was done.
The last four years have been a nightmare for most
Americans. The trump administration has done much damage to the American form
of government, democracy itself, and left the US Constitution in shambles. The
court system is in disarray. Schools are under supported. The economy is in the
dumpster. Civility itself has been severely damaged.
This leads to the goal of removing trump from office. Period.
End of story.
So why would anyone who agrees with this goal, do anything
that would imperil its achievement?
Why indeed! That is the question I have for the Green Party.
They are pushing their message to Democrats to forsake Biden and Harris. They find
fault with the Democrats in general, angry that their favored candidates did
not win primaries and inclusion within the hierarchy of the party. And now,
when the votes count to remove a madman from office, they play their Bernie
card.
Sorry. I do not support the Green Party in this endeavor. I
do support green initiatives to save the planet’s ecology. But one wonders at
this point if the Green Party has totally lost its way and are now trump
supporters?
Am I the only one thinking about this? Please say not!
