137. Lucian, it's not really a 'mentality,' but more of a
case of hard arithmetic.

The votes aren't there. The organization is not there. No funding. No leverage, no influence, no grassroots presence in the great majority of U.S. communities, and to top it all off, the U.S. Greens have nominated complete losers to top their tickets.

Ralph Nader is a smart man with absolutely zero chance, ever, of becoming president. He would have to claw his way into a Congressional seat, that is if he survived the primary.

Cynthia McKinney? Laughable.

If the U.S. Greens are ever going to make any headway, they need to gather out back behind the shithouse and draw up a new plan. The one they're using now ain't workin'.
