(7,878 posts)Contrast that with Greens, who basically believe in everything Democrats do, they just take it to the furthest extreme to the point that they become unelectable even in super liberal areas.
I went point-by-point of what Greens believed in vs. what Democrats believed in during one of the recent elections and the only difference was the Democrats believed in using nuclear power and Greens did not. And even that could be considered a difference in nuance vs. actual ideology since the underlying principle is being pro-environment and moving away from fossil fuels.
Contrast that with Republicans vs. Libertarians, where Libertarians were fully in favor of abortion up until very recently (now their stance has been muddied as more ex-Republicans infiltrate their ranks and try to co-opt their party, I'm not sure where they stand on the issue now and I'm not sure they do either).
Glad to educate you on this issue!
