Mr. Perry must be under 30 years of age; otherwise, he would understand that the demonRAT party took a
left turn right after JFK and hasn't looked back since. That may be part of the reason for its slow demise, hopefully, a demise that has not reached bottom, yet. The Greens offer so much rewarmed Marxist BS; they are communists to the core, but some of them think they are a "new wave" of political thought. Most are under 25 and have no clue as to what the hell they are talking about.
As commies, their beef is NOT with a despoiled environment, but with the notion of private property; as such, they are going nowhere in America, since private property rights are the cornerstone of the Republic. Once some of them become home owners, and find out what a bath will do for their social lives, they will change their tune.
I have a close friend who is one year older than me, and I'm over fifty. He loudly proclaimed his intention to vote for Nader in the last election "to fight those evil corporate interests" or some malarkey like that. I asked him he had bothered to read The Green Party platform as I had. Well of course he hadn't. I told him that the candidate for the Democratic Socialist Party admitted that their platforms were almost identical. My friend gave me that blank look you get when you give someone information that is contrary to what they want to believe and quickly changed the subject.
