Because I'm talking about the Greens, not Ralph Nader. The Green are the one who want to build a party, not Ralph Nader. Nader's 2000 Green Party was a marriage of convenience for both Nader and the Greens.

Please don't confuse what you'd like to see happen with my comments on two separate things. I was commenting on the political analysis by Howie Hawkins, which Yoshie forwarded. I think that Hawkins' take on the Greens' relationship with the Dems is spot on, if you take the Greens at their word that they want to create a credible third party.
