Nader/Kucinich 2012!?

[blackturtleus]

I'd vote for Kucinich if he ran in November... I have no intention of voting for Obama or Clinton under any circumstances!

I like Kucinich a lot, but he didn't really answer the question.

New Zealand has a really cool election system. A combination of PR and instant runoff. And its very representative of the people.

Ron and Dennis would've made a great team.

Dennis, if I were you, I would switch to being either a third party or an independent. Even if you were to win the Democratic Party's nomination, you still wouldn't be able to shift it into your direction. The party, like the other major party, is corrupt and will no longer serve the interests of the people.

there IS a conflict, maybe not between us, but democracy is immoral, and the world should know. And before you say anything like 'its the best we got'.. No. a democracy will evolve into a despotic oligarchy, but a Republic: rule by law, is good as long as it lasts, and is based on natural laws. when a republic fails, the worst that can come of it is another form of the system so many love and die for: democracy/despotic-oligarchy.

Viva la Republic

[bupobm]

that was a reply to :FreiheitKampfer

[bupobm]

he said "WHEN IT COMES TO BASIC CIVIL LIBERTIES"

there is no conflict there

Instant Runoff Voting.

Proportional representation.

Sell our prime time TV and radio airwaves to finance true public programming - PBS is corporately underwritten.

2000 citizens in each congressional district watching and instructing our elected representatives.

Imagine the effect.
