Excellent article,with some very good historical background.May I suggest two
more books,that are among the best I ever read,Lawrence Goodwyn's The Populist
Moment,and Hammer and Hoe,by Robin O. Kelly.
So how do you convince lefties,who vote for the Democrats,out of fear,and
lesserevilism,to ab
At this point, the key is really not a socialist labels or even winning
elections and governing, but whether you build a membership based party.
Without that, any of these other things are going to be meaningless or
transient.
With it, other problems will be favorably resolved.

Anybody know how these Green mayors governed? Were any of them socialists?

I think not being any different from the Democrats once you get into office
could be a real problem with the Greens.Here in New Mexico,we never have had
the chance to see what a Green would be like,if elected.In my 16 years as a
Green,2000-2017,we never had a single candidate run for state local

You know that Nader - in addition to never identifying explicitly as a
socialist - was also never a member of the Green Party? The Greens
approached Nader about running on their ballot line as a means of
popularizing the Greens. In the presidential campaign of 1996 Nader okayed
the Greens using h
Per a badly outdated Wikipedia entry (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Green_politicians_who_have_held_office_in_the_United_States
), the Green Party as of January 2017 could number 143 members who had been
elected to statewide or local office. Music that for yourself.

Yes, it was Audie Bock, better known as a film historian specializing in
Japanese cinema. After a few months in office she stated that she was in over
her head, and during her tenure you changed her affiliation to "Independent."

I can say from personal experience that the original Greens did have more than
their share of bourgeois hippies. Except for a handful of socialists like
Hawkins, those were the folks that got the Greens on the ballot in California
and elsewhere. Once they got the ballot line, most of the hippi
Everyone goes on about the secret lovers of Trump who will vote for him but
won't admit it. There are probably also secret anti-Trumpists who fear
ostracism and worse if they admit they're voting for bidenharris. Who knows
how this will play out?
This is not an endorsement of bidenharris. I'
According to a recent CNN poll, of the 40-something percent who way they
will vote for Trump, something like 12% (of voters) say they can be
persuaded otherwise. This article describes the working class voters who
voted for Trump but have turned against him. My guess is that some of them
haven't tu
Hello. I am new to this group. Yesterday, I read something on the 538 blog that
said Trump was gaining support from white people with degrees and non-whites in
general. I wonder if this will offset the ones he is losing?
