And this is why Democrats will keep losing.

    But people don’t consider the Republicans as a single issue party, that want a republic, or the Democrats as a single issue party, that want democratic elections.

    For the green parties, claiming them to be single issue is a narrative that is repeated, for instance by corporate media that does not want people to realize that there is more progressive political positions than privatized healthcare and a limited number of sick days.

      Not sure what to tell you - do you see a lot of working class people that barely have the time/inclination to pay attention to things past glancing at headlines to realize that the Green party - which again, has been branded by most of the radical right and the “liberal media” already?

      I’m just saying what is. They’d have a lot to work on to gain the trust of Americans beyond this branding, though. People are not going to forget Nader and Stein so easily and many of us are still quite angry about it. There is virtually nothing from them on the local level as well. Trying to do it top-down just isn’t going to do anything, anyway. Suppose they somehow managed to get a President elected. Then what?
