Instead of fighting the real danger, i.e. the Republican neocons, the Democrats are hitting at the green parties.
GreenParty: "Green Party leaders called on Congress to reject a House bill that combines public funding of congressional campaigns with a scheme to ban third party and independents from such races.
HR 4694 (Let the People Decide Clean Campaign Act) would grant nominees of parties (i.e. Democrats and Republicans) that had averaged 25% of the vote for House races in a given district in the last two elections, full public funding.
All others (i.e. third party and independent candidates) would be required to submit petitions signed by 10% of the last vote cast for partial funding, and 20% petitions for full funding.
Furthermore, candidates who don't qualify for funding would be barred from spending any privately raised money on their campaigns."
What is wrong with those democrats? And this at a moment when the environment is in danger!
Independent: "A crucial global warming 'tipping point' for the Earth, highlighted only last week by the British Government, has already been passed, with devastating consequences."
This is the way whole civilizations have crumbled in the past, because matters of power retention prevailed over the real demands of the crisis they were in and no solutions were sought.

BBC: "An elderly couple who were separated for seven months by social services have been reunited."
I am so glad for them. So it helps to raise a stink, to stand up and protest.
