Also, sorry, HamJam I know this, companero, It was directed at others. You are just IMHO a bit carried away by the whole third party or non-voting thing. Many of my fellow leftie friends are now sorry that a couple of thousand fellow progressives in Florida caused Nader to "elect" Bush with the resulting Gulf War and multi-trillion tax break directed to the upper classes. That is why Bernie Sanders the Democratic Socialist if he runs (and I sure hope he does ) says he will run as a Dem. It would be nice to have some actual reality policy proposals for the 99% when we have our say $2.5 billion spent to elect a president, even if the choice is between a raging corporatist and perhaps moderate one.

That is why Bernie Sanders the Democratic Socialist if he runs (and I sure hope he does ) says he will run as a Dem. It would be nice to have some actual education about policy proposals directed toward the 99% rather than mainly the 1% when we have our say $2.5 billion spent to elect a president even if the choice is merely between a raging corporatist and a moderate one.
