Sifry on the Greens: offered red meat, the opt for tofu

[Alan Jacobson]

Unlike the fabulously successful revolutionary formations influencing tens
of people across America? It is a tautology--the Green Party sucks because
it has no power so I won't help build it, ensuring that it will never gain
power.  The masses think about politics in terms of the electoral arena. If
the left abstains either because it is fearful of losing infinitesimal
influence in the Democratic Party or because the electoral vehicles
available don't match some macho class-war fantasy, then I guess we really
are mired in the margins.
