eric alterman is a fucking moron

[juliopazymino]

This great video demonstrates what we have all experienced for years -- the enforced vote for the least horrible choice. Many have stopped voting because they will not participate in that sham. We need to take the country back and let folks feel the power of proportional representation where all elected persons participate in governing to debate and deliberate on the real best solutions -- business should be subservient to the electorate, not the other way around. No solitary rule!

[aglorincz]

@juliopazymino sounds exactly like chomsky. two parties of the same business faction. but fuck, maybe next year or so, it's finally going to change!

electoral college is a sham, popular vote would be the truth.

[peymaania]

So the Moral of this Lesson is...We need a Bloody Civil War, to have a viable Third Party.

[FRSFreeStateES]

Its very hard to put together a major party when you only represent 15-20% of the Political Spectrum. Which is what Far Right and Far Left parties do in America. But what they can do within the major parties. Is hold them accountable.

Is Ross Mirkarimi the voice people turn to when they're doing an anonymous interview?

[libertarianjury]

The USA is fascist, Nader's ideas would make it more fascist. Now that the Libertarian Party has committed suicide, I pine for the days of Harry Browne.

It looks like Marc Stevens and the No State Project are the last, best hope for freedom, along with FIJA (Jury Rights Activism). Bringing down the courts will be easier than winning elections anyway, and requires less blessing from the servile sheep who call themselves citizens. (submitizens)

Don't agree with me? Go screw yrself...

[kenocartel]

phil donahue is a hyper liberal douche who votes the party line 100% of the time so i dont know why hes chiming in...anyways...ralph hasnt been successful not so much so because hes third party but because his views are so so far to the left it makes barack obama look like rush limbaugh

[053bss]

Rude and tactless to boot.

[camdaddy09]

agreed

[stirrrrrr]

Nader is not unreasonable. Please immigrate to Canada. We have a parliament system and you can always shine!
