Same message as Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. But Cynthia made it on the ballot. Voters do not even try to truely inform themselves or else one of these three honest candidates would have won by a landslide. Like George Carlin said, "Garbage in, garbage out!"

The problem is most people are persuaded by advertising/marketing campaigns rather than researching and voting for the candidate they are aligned with. Any candidate on enough ballot to get enough electoral votes CAN WIN.

It's not only the potential voters but the news media itself that decides "winnable' by marketing dollars so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Cynthia, dont get distracted by the psychwarfare going online against you, stay strong and keep opposing tyranny.

[RunCynthiaRun]

The problem is the public pays attention to the psychwarfare.

Repeat a lie enough times... as they say.

If people want something better and they can get it. We see that in elections in other countries. The desire needs to be led by truth and analysis, not media controlled by corporate objectives.

Well said.

@seecraig Parties make people disagree amongst each other, mess up the voting process, and are generally regressive tools. Just think if there weren't parties. Issues like gay rights and tax cuts wouldn't be tossed around. Our political system is one big game where our elected officials use us.

Check out this video for a good description:

@XM8rifle There will never be a way to end political parties. Human nature is sociologically "collective." Political Parties are the only way to develop shared resources otherwise you have the "it's every person for themselves" result. It's just not possible in any society to prevent people from forming political collectives. Collectives means SHARED resources and that's a GOOD THING (and UNAVOIDABLE).

@seecraig I despise the idea of political parties. George Washington had the right idea.

[seecraig]

@XM8rifle but it's not about the individual. McKinney is building a political party. Nader is an excellent individual but in order to make change we need to build a political institution that can elect people to office as well as work for change on the grassroots level. This is what McKinney is doing that differentiates her.

[XM8rifle]

McKinney is far better than Obama, but I'd vote Nader over her.

Next time you swerve around a metal detector make sure you're wearing your fuckin' pin. Because if you don't it makes you look like a bitch.
