Marvin clearly sees voting Democratic as the payoff for getting
credibility with workers who are voting that way.  But what about
workers who are voting Republican?  Why wouldn't the exact same
argument apply?

As an aside, the GPUS is, for all practical purposes, worthless in
most parts of the US.  There'll always be some sort of national Green
political party, but the current manifestation has essentially topped
itself in these parts.  The state CC has never included a single one
of the left Greens in the Nader-Camejo current in the state, and it
took a serious fight just to get the party to include us as members.
However, that same leadership body always has--and still has--members
who openly support the Democrats.

There's been a long-standing need for something that incorporates what
the Greens did at their best, but is willing to pursue it and make
political independence a real principle, foundational to the
organization.
