Bonnie,
As if it matters, I'll try again. You say "it has been shown that they do
support voting for Democrats when push comes to shove." It may have been
said repeatedly, but, it hasn't "been shown" and you've proved too lazy to
do your homework to find out.
Indeed, I never referred to "the Fulani 'fusion strategy' crowd in the
Greens" because there is no Fulani crowd in the Greens. The Fulani crowd
detests the Greens and agrees with your critique of it. Only their
alternative is different.
It's also clear that you don't understand the meaning of "insurgency" in
electoral politics. The Green vote totals from 2000 are an "insurgency" and
we've never seen it on such a scale since the days of Henry Wallace. That
was almost 60 years ago. The antiwar movement never represented such an
insurgency. That's why it kept imploding every election...as the militants
trickled off to the Democrats. Neither was the civil rights movement....
And so on.....
But we've gone round on this repeatedly. I write things. You ignore them
and rant a lecture worthy of Daniel DeLeon in 1900.
The real issue is one of the Democratic Party...one on which you opt to
abstain. Why waste your precious breath on dealing with an established
bourgeois party when there are radicals around to attack?
I think Louis is right and the list isn't hearing anything new on this.
Solidarity!
Mark L.
