Addendum to the green party convention
I somehow missed it, but I read that the green party is possibly adding into their platform that they're going to support something called eco-socialism and a rejection of capitalism. That is definitely far too left for my tastes, but I will make a decision when they finally release the platform to the public and I can read it myself. I'm leery of "socialism", but I'm ultimately more interested in the details of implementation than a broad rejection of it, so if they tend to support mostly progressive politics labelled as "socialism" I still might bite. I mean, I'm mostly on board with their economic ideas as stated in Stein's personal platform, such as abolishment of student debt, free college, universal healthcare, basic income, job guarantee, etc.
