I've just been lurking here, and you're probably not going to hear much from
me again, but I'm shocked to hear this kind of reasoning on a Green list.
Do we have a mole in the organization?  Is this satire?

There's no reason on earth for a person to vote for a candidate with whom
they disagree on what is, to that person, a critically important issue.  Let
'em lose, and tell 'em why they did.

When you make a habit of sacrificing your most important principles for the
sake of practicality, you end up... well, you end up exactly where we are
now.  And where we are now sucks rocks.
