I'm wondering if there is enough splintering of the dimocraps to cause the real socialists to migrate to the Green party?

I don't know. There are threatened splits in both parties. Alito helped us significantly, and hurt them badly. How it affects the politics on the ground is really hard to predict imo.
The non-political people I know are actually quite mystified by this whole fight. They like Alito. They think he has a nice family. He isn't frightening. Beyond that they are basically apathetic.
In any case, I like these kinds of political landscape shattering moments, especially when they break our way. The consequences of today will be fun to watch as they unfold.
