I spent some time a few years ago trying to build the Labor Party. It was demoralizing to say the least. The Greens, as presently constituted, include some fine people (e.g. McReynolds, who isn't really a committed member) and some loons (names omitted to protect the innocent). I'm going to talk with McReynolds & his posse about what we could do in New York - but nationally, the GP is hopeless.
