just simply more progressive democrats but i know jill stein the presidential candidate had a lot of criticism for the democrats as well so how would you respond to that are you just simply more progressive democrats where democrats we are the green party people are members of the party in many states in terms of registering as a green party member some states don't have that opportunity just because of the draconian electoral laws we are. i wouldn't even say where more progressive democrats we are left of the democrats we are independent we believe in transformational politics we take no corporate money which is very different than any of the other corporate parties and we really are a party where you can be a member you can influence you can dialogue you can make decisions locally regionally and national grassroots is the word that is often brought up with the green party chris the challenge of that is taking on these other parties with such big money you know the criticism you're going to split the opposition to president trump the democratic vote will be. diluted if you will would you gain more in advance your issues more if you wo

you think their ultimate goal is? to your point, they had ads favorable to hillary and jill stein. >> bernie sanders, ted cruz. s: in a nation they know already, we have a lot of issues here with respect to -- >> do you think russians are only people doing this? let me tell you back in 1796 french did exactly same thing, setting up societies all across the states to influence people to try to elect thomas jefferson president instead of john adams because they thought jefferson would side with france in the war against great britain. 1940, the british intervened with the republican primary, meddling to avoid nomination of isolationist who wouldn't go to war against the nazis. this always happens but we never said it was election meddling before. we recognize it was influencing public opinion. it is different from toying with the voting machines or posing as american citizens and casting illegitimate ballots. that's election meddling. charles: bottom line, no sane person is saying that it had any real influence on the outcome. we have to leave it there. i love the walk through history though. very impressive. tha
