So, What’s the Deal With the Green Party?
Here’s the thing about the Green Party’s ticket for the presidential election. I fully respect to sisters of color running for the presidency. I think that it is a testament to how far our country has come to see that anybody would nominate two women for any viable bid for government leadership.
Having said that, I really don’t know their purpose.
I listened to Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente this morning on Democracy Now! I tried desperately to align an open mind with what I’ve been classically trained to believe was a antagonize force in the country’s established game of glad-handing and promise breaking.
And for all of the bluster of what Democrats and Republicans do wrong, that’s all I heard. Bluster.
Tell me something I don’t know, sisters.
Tell me your side on foreign policy, health care and education. Tell me how you stand to be a serious voice for activism and the people’s right to govern themselves.
Don’t tell me what I already know doesn’t work. Because that makes you a bystander talking about how bad a house fire is when you could be fetching some water.
Are you unhappy interrupters? Are you an unbridled and unfiltered solution to many of the problems that plague the United State’s two-party system? Or are you content to be middle of the road?
If that does make you content, to just be a dissenting voice loud enough to distract others from policies and philosophies that will be enacted in spite of your message, then get off of the road.
