Tweet from the Green Party, Monroe County, NY / re: RBG

Isn't Jill Stein's party the Green Party too? And Ralph Nader?

I guess there's no longer a question about what their political goals have been.
It's time to just identify them all.
Nader, Stein,....etc

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was much more than her SCOTUS seat. It's appalling to show such callous disrespect to the RBG as a person, not to mention the Ginsburg family.

Paid homage to RBG’s support of women’s rights, the ACA, the rights of governments to enact and enforce environmental laws and regulations and the rights of individuals against plutocratic oligarchy.

If this sorry little screed is typical of Green Party thinking, it is clear that much, if not all of the Green Party, has become a cardboard Potemkin village that exists to benefit grifters and divide progressives’ votes to the benefit of Republicans and so-called “Conservatives.”

They stayed silent in that knowing & are still repeating the same m.o. now in 2020.

Who's campaign was stacked with Stein mgrs?
Ya. We always knew it too.


THIS is why they ran their campaign against HRC.

This is what they wanted instead.
"Burn it all down", they shouted

Whomever honors their words over our icon of Women's & Human rights, RBG, owes us some explanation.

These are the words of the NY Green Party.
Not mine. Ever.

I've posted no opinion of any other party.
These are their own words.

Yes, they had to issue a statement disparging RGB rather than honor her work.

Clearly by the words in the text from the NY Green Party, they don't believe RBG should be given creedence for her life's work in government.

They have declared that loudly in their statement.
I don't know how else to interpret the words of the tweet.

Perhaps someone else can address what they really meant because right now, it is damning & extremely offensive

and compromised. In other words, establishment status quo. She believed in liberal values and in the fundamental structure of the system of government. Not revolutionary or transformational enough!

Also, they don't think the Supreme Court is that important in protecting progressive values, maybe for a few years more, but the population of the country is growing more progressive and will soon be reflected in state governments. Progressive legislations will replace conservative ones. So don't worry!

All nonsense of course.
