And we're all scared --
Let me tell you it's a pretty scary thing when you have to begin thinking of turning to third parties and then come to understand how the system is engineered to keep the two private parties in place.

What if Democrats really ever have to turn to a third party?
Do they understand how the system has been rigged to keep legitimate third parties from rising?

Do they understand how the Democratic Party works with the GOP to do this?

Do they understand that the Green Party was co-opted by the Democrats and probably still is?

If you want to regain your government one day, I wouldn't go throwing away any of the tools.

Meanwhile, we have a private corporation in charge of our "debates" . . .
We have two business parties now . . .
We have a corporate-fascist Supreme Court . . .
We have right-wing control of our "press" . . .

And you have all the candidates out now SELLING themselves and our government to the wealthy.

We need IRV voting . . .
We need to get rid of black box voting and return to paper ballots -- and COUNT THEM!!!

And if we have another situation as obvious as 2000, perhaps we want to give some thought as to how we should have reacted.
