In these turbulent times with a myriad of external threats against the West, there is a ray of light for hopefulness that the general population has not yet tumbled off the precipice of sanity into utter depravation -- and that is its overwhelming refusal to support those that control Green Parties at various levels of government.

Despite the constant nagging to get behind this issue, it apparently still falls way down the list of voter concerns. Are all these people "deniers"? Or are they just not informed enough yet. Or are most folks wise enough to know that the line is a lie and the bait isn't very enticing. Don't you love the smell of dung fires in the morning?

The Reds don’t exercise power through elections.

They do it through disruption.

when the left and right wing parties in europe believe the same thing that the green party believe in, there’s not much room for them

—yep—and I was delighted (and somewhat surprised) that we Nevadans did turn down the mining tax initiative last election—with Clark County being the 1.6 million population tail that wags the 1.9 million dog-—

No. Marginal Green Party voters have just gone back to the social/liberal parties. From the article: “While more popular centrist and left-wing governments in many of these regions have gradually adopted some select principles from the Green parties...” They got what they wanted and don’t want what’s left, so they went back to their home parties.

LOL! And are you surprised that gov brian didn’t somehow get it legislatively approved in some form anyway like the margins tax despite the voters saying NO!? Next up, will the 1.6 mil Clark county folks get the intergalactic gun background check approved on the ‘16 ballot? Sadly, I’m thinkin’ that with all bloombergs money getting ready to pour in, it’ll pass.

The various Green party policies are at a fundamental level anti-human. I think even low information voters are not consistently fooled by the “sustainable, environmentally sound, etc. etc.” bullarky Green’s spout. If Greens ever became the majority you would see starvation on a level that would make Stalin envious.

When I mentioned to a Green that possibly a billion people had died from insect born diseases because DDT was taken off the market she responded, “Good.”

They don’t need to win elections.
They just get appointed.

No doubt that they are well embedded at all levels by now too. Being able to find them and dump them will be almost impossible.

The man caused global warming hoax has pretty much run its course. There are pollution issues that are real and it’s a shame that an artificial crisis has stolen the limelight for so long.
