To be frank, no Greens I have met have been a threat to knowledgeable Labor Left member, because they're not knowledgeable on social issues. They really have not been. They can name them, mostly, but they cannot present or justify them clearly.
Obviously some must be knowledgeable, but this (together with one-issue shouting and the readiness to fling ad hominens rather than debate), are why I did not join them. And I was highy disappointed by that.
Of course they're a threat to old Stalinests whose only ideas are all about straight, white blue collar men's gender-stereotypical work, but who isn't?
