Absolutely not. Former Dem here and originally a Bernie supporter. I've followed the Greens carefully for about a decade but did not make the switch until after moving to Denver and working with Andrea. I have had nothing but support from her (I'm a white woman, former Dem, former Bernie supporter, so none of the allegations listed hold true in my experience). I have watched Andrea encourage persons of all sexual identities, racial identities and education levels to fit in where they can get in. I'm with the Green party now because I believe strongly that the only way this country gets better is if we get beyond this patriarchal white supremacist capitalist system (after all, that is what I've read in the platform). I've seen the “offending” conversations on Facebook. Andrea stays on point with these values. That appears to difficult for some (most often white liberals) to handle. Is it because she is a woman with convictions? Yes. Is it because she is a Latina speaking truth? Yes. Quite frankly, I don't think they are ready for this party if they can't reflect on this sort of feedback and move towards the vision outlined in the platform. If these are the people the party is seeking to work with, I won't be around long. I'm not interested in being part of Dems 2.0.
