25. Common ground? The Greens are considerably to the left of the Democrats. The Greens
have consistently stuck to solid progressive principles time and again, whereas the Democrats, a few remaining principled members notwithstanding, are a centrist corporate party now.

The Greens are only there because the Democrats have made them necessary. If the Democrats would actually commit wholeheartedly to solidly left, progressive principles—not just bullshit lip service and lies, like now—the Greens would probably disappear.
