More on HH

Howie is a good speaker, a good writer, a good presenter of his Red-Green viewpoint. He’s a positive force within the Green Party. He’ll debate his point of view without getting caustic. He avoids the kind of flaming discourse that too often (unfortunately) characterizes internal party interactions.

His explication of socialism is straightforward, concise, and appealing:

I wish he would frame it in a Greener way.

Tweaks I would recommend:
* a less Marxist-workerist orientation
* a less universalist presentation
* an ultimately bioregionalist vision

He says that Bernie and AOC lose the essence of socialism. I’m afraid that HH’s presentation loses the essence of the Green paradigm.

We should appeal to Howie to move in this direction:
