So the Dems are not doing that now? We are convenient
scapegoats.<br><br>
If only Greens vote for Green candidates we will always be small -
we need to take more risks than just say Greens can only vote for
Greens.<br><br>

If we had an open primary the DNC would just manipulate it to make sure
our candidates would never make the top two. <br><br>

I think the only way we have a chance under Top <br>
Two is to allow open primaries for our Green <br>
Party candidates to allow us to compete with those Dem internal
divisions.<br><br>
If we don't allow dissident Dems who are <br>
NOTA in thir own Dem Party to vote for our <br>
candidates we will always remain small and just a <br>
pressure group and scapegoat on their left.<br><br>
Only the Top Two irrespective of party go to the Nov election
remember.<br><br>
