  It's Not Easy Being...

  Whatever will happen when the Greens win an election? It'll kill 'em, won't it! Being Green is actually, quite easy. Since they will never compromise their positions, they will never get elected, and since they never get elected, they will never be compromised. Perfect! And since the Greens are an real political party, you can't accuse a Greenie of non-involvement.

  It's like the "Producers" of politics. As long as they never succeed, they will be successful!

  So what happens when the Greens win a couple of Senate or House seats? That'll screw them up entirely.

  Now of course, if the Greens win an overwhelming electoral victory, based on their uncompromising positions, they will enact their agenda, uncompromisingly. And that'll happen.

  Isn't that always how political parties gain a leading role in American politics? First, they take uncompromising positions based on their principles, and refuse to dilute them. And then all of a sudden, they win the Presidency and a majority of seats in both houses, so there is no need to compromise. Isn't that how it always happens?

  Got to admit, being Green is easier than Kermit makes it out.
