A single party can't defeat fascism. It takes a broad coalition of support across ideologies. Political enemies joining to beat an existential threat.
Whether Greene really is a defector, it's important to signal to other prospective deserters that the door back to democracy/sanity is open to them.

So, ok. Raskin is very intelligent & studied. He knows that you can't defeat fascism/authoritarianism without support from defectors from the other side. Whether Greene really is one, it's important to signal to other prospective deserters that the door is open. That's what's happening here.
