| 24. Greens serve a purpose |

Basically you are suggesting that we should just have two political parties, the Democrats and Republicans. The Green Party serves the purpose of creating a pull to the left that helps resist the republicans' pull to the right. Conservative third parties do the same as do moderate and special interest third parties and it is an important part of our electoral system. Without third parties the Democrats and Republicans wouldn't be as responsive to the people's wishes.
