Yeah. I started on Dan Savage's side, and said FUCK YEAH! YOU TELL EM DANO! when his original piece came out.

Then I read the Green Party's exquisite response, and went through every single one of their links and supporting arguments, and... I changed my mind.

Dan Savage was wrong. The Green Party is out there, in the political trenches, doing the hard work. They also are aware of how the system is rigged against them, and have a practical plan for attacking that problem, too.

That's why every time someone pulls out the old "the Green Party are just political opportunists who just show up every 4 years to complain" trope, I call em out, and link to that article.

Thanks for taking the time to actually read it. We all need to be better informed, and more active.
