I think my description of the Green Party base was pretty dead on. Basically, a coalition of old granola eating tree huggers and young, upper class white kids.

[Deus Naturae]

Watermelons=HP.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

While watermelons aren't that good in politics, they are better than the sour lemons that make up the Libertarian Party.

[Meursault]

For all the New Age mandalas and tantric chanting, they're still more grounded in reality than the Republicans are in their demon-haunted world.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Points 5 and 6 of their "Ten Key Values" are decentralization and community-based economics. If they took that seriously rather than tending to fall back on central planning my opinion of the Greens would be higher.

[TNF]

Kind of silly old bourgeois reformists, but still better than the Democrats, Republicans, or Libertarians.

I basically consider them to be on the same level as the Communist Party of Greece for this reason: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Nader_presidential_campaign,_2000

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER vote for any of their candidates for ANYTHING on principal. If it was a Green vs. Republican race I'd do a write-in.

Anti-science, New Leftist pacifists=Horrible Party

People still care about Ralph Nader's Presidential run? lol.

and to think if a few hundred greens in Florida had voted for among the most environmentally minded candidates to ever run for a major party, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis may not have died violent deaths

[SWE]

ITT thinking Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq

[H. Ross Peron]

ITT thinking Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq

He might have launched air strikes like Clinton did but I doubt Gore would have launched a ground invasion.

[Marnetmar]

They're nuts.

It is pretty ironic to think that of all people the Green Party stops from being president, it's Al Gore.

[Phony Moderate]

Watermelons=HP.

This insult doesn't really work, as many Greens are quite open about having socialist leanings.

Anyhow, FP but obviously irrelevant in the U.S.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Gore was a vocal opponent of invading Iraq and spoke out against it even before it occurred.

[Orser67]

An unfortunate drain on potential Democratic votes in a two-party system.

Also, probably well-meaning, but probably not grounded in pragmatism or reality, though I can't speak to all Green Party members.
