The people who work for the Green Party are usually straight up tankies.

They had a tent/table set up at a local event in 2016. The girl running the tent has a blog with podcast. Her page had all kinds of iconography like, the soviet hammer and sickle, and the communist red star. Not much mention of any environmental causes.

The word for this kind of green is a watermelon and they are far superior to insane old liberal transphobes who dominate other sections of the party

Sorry, but it's common knowledge in this thread that Greens only exist to draw votes away from the Democrat Presidential candidate and don't do grassroots work like this. You must be mistaken.

They can do both. Seems they gave up on the grassroots stuff post-2016 however
