Clinton was not good on inequality, it was the opposite. He started the trend of abandoning workers with NAFTA
Yes, 100%. This part I agree with; Clinton was very bad.
and it’s gotten worse ever since
This part I also agree with.
You spent a long time restating your claim that the Democrats are responsible for all of that and that the trend is accelerating with successive Democrats, neither of which I agree with, and I already laid out some data to say why. Did you have some kind of data or something to back up the argument?
(I saw your chart… it’s hard to draw too many conclusions from just 3 data points on the X axis but it looks to me like what it shows is what I said: Inequality got massively worse under Reagan, Clinton, and Bush 1 and 2, and then tapered off although still getting worse under Obama, and nothing is shown after that. I.e. I’m not sold that that chart means that Democrats are the ones doing it.)
Like you said income and wealth inequality is a complicated topic, the link I posted has several graphs and statistics, and from looking around most studies show wealth inequality is getting worse. It’s not entirely the Dems fault, I’m saying they’re not doing enough to oppose the Republicans and that having an competitor like the Green party start to grow in support would push the Dems to do more about it
Bare minimum vote for them and get your friends and family involved in politics as well. I’m doing that as well as donating and doing social media outreach.
Because we need momentum, we get 5% this year, maybe 10% in 2028. If we instead vote for Dems we will gain nothing.

Sounds great. I like the idea. How can I help the Greens become a more serious contender in the future?
Also, how does risking Trump winning the general election in November assist in that effort in any way?
