you to be really interested in the question, but anyway.

Hippies have indeed left Greens pretty much everywhere where they've become part of the system, Green Capitalism of urban liberals was a no-sell from the beginning. That doesn't mean hippies would not vote a Green candidate if and when they vote, hippies are not predictable.

last time I voted was a gay Green candidate for president or Finland, he got more that 40% against the conservative who won and no other candidate could have done better against that conservative.
