Reply #8: Another Green alternate reality thread

[JackSwift]

How about if Greens actualy start studying politics and political theory?

Why don't they just try running The Hulk? He's Green, big and popular.

There is a reason that Greens do not have a single state level elected official nationwide, and only a couple of city coucil seats nationwide: their level of political sophistication would embarass third grade geeks not part of the cool kids.

One of the chief problems that the Greens have is that it is more important to them to defeat "lite" versions of their policies by their opponents than to get their own people elected. Politics isn't a day at the beach, it's swimming in a sewer of compromise to get anything done.
