0:29 Why the #GreenParty?

4:39 Why not PSL? Background: Making a Statement (at a minimum)

6:52 Why not PSL? Reason 1: The Greens are on the ballot in many more states than the PSL.

8:04 Why not PSL? Reason 2: I am more personally familiar with the Greens and feel I can support the GP based on what I know of it.

10:28 Why not PSL? Reason 3: I believe the USA needs a mass workers' party more than it needs a vanguard party right now.

16:05 Why not PSL? Reason 4: I believe the PSL, as a vanguard party, is revisionist.

26:12 What is the vanguard party the USA needs?
