Here's How the Far Left Will Neutralize Itself

http://www.gp.org/our_revolution_endorses_kaper_dale_and_durden

Our Revolution voted to endorse the Green Party ticket of Seth Kaper-Dale and Lisa Durden for Governor of New Jersey.

On October 4, 2017, the Union County Chapter of Our Revolution voted to endorse the Green Party ticket of Seth Kaper-Dale and Lisa Durden for Governor of New Jersey. This is the second Our Revolution group in the Garden State to endorse candidates in the upcoming election, both of which endorsed Kaper-Dale/Durden.

"I'm happy to have the endorsement of people that worked tirelessly on the Bernie Sanders campaign who have recognized that I am the only gubernatorial candidate who shares their priorities such as medicare for all, affordable housing and making the super-rich pay their fair share," Kaper-Dale said.






It's the perfect way to make your movement irrelevant. Those two candidates have exactly zero chance to win that election in NJ, so it's a bunch of effort with no possibility of success.

Is aid and abet the radical right.

God forbid they should aid and abet mainstream Democrats.

The old BBC series, "The Power of Nightmares," noted that the only commonality of "conservatives" was their irrational loathing of "Liberals." I put that In scare quotes because they define who is "Liberal," and it varies.

The radical left shares this irrational loathing feature too but it's more pathological because it's self loathing. And that make the radical left self defeating and self destructive.
