I do miss the Socialist Workers' Party in Boston. They used to field some great candidates for local offices and I kept hoping they'd get enough into the office holding pipeline to do some good.

The Greens out here were strong when I first moved here over 20 years ago but lost me completely when they dug up some old fart antiabortionist to run for governor. They've been pretty weakened ever since that particular fiasco, even the idealistic university students were turned off.

This guy is just spouting 60s radical boilerplate, there's nothing special or scary about it. In fact, I find it rather quaint.

I appreciated the heck out of Nader but around 2000 and beyond, they stopped trying to build a national party and just started to become a fringe party who only showed up every four years to boost their own egos.

for her imperialist policies in the past and in the present?

Wow, I'm so in awe that he has his own YOUTUBE show! Perhaps it would be a good idea to read a book, occasionally, if one is determined to blather continuously and expect foreign people to listen. Well, I dropped out a minute or so after it started, and I think I threw up a little, too.
