Some in the Green camp will object that I lump vacillating progressive Democrats with alternative parties and movements that demand deeper structural change, just as many Trump voters will resent the association with Neo-Nazis. But I'm not describing unified movements, I'm identifying general tendencies and shared premises that are shaping this century's political landscape. There are different shades of Green.
Ultimately, all of those under the Green rubric will have to declare independence from Purple Democrats. In the U.S., Green is the weakest of the three colors, but it remains the only hope for the future. Half of the GOP has migrated into Orange territory and bipartisan Purple has failed to deliver for working people. Neither is capable of dealing with climate change, the crisis of the century.
Under unchallenged Orange and Purple rule, the world will sink into deeper conflict, greater corporate oligarchy, and more devastation and chaos as the climate crisis worsens. Greens have a lot of work to do.
