Going in Circles?

Posted by LDF on February 05, 2008 at 09:23:43:

The campaign, nominations, elections and subsequent months following the inaugaration & administration of "the new president" will be an eye-opener. Every four years, one president is 'elected' (the lesser of two evils in the best of times) and sets out on a course that leaves the people disappointed and, ultimately, frustrated. When no third parties exist, or are not supported because they "can't win", we the
people are doubly ensured to NEVER win. Talk about voting your conscience and your labelled a "spoiler", seek to build a new party with a platform that calls for real democracy and you're called a dreamer. But every great progressive movement in our history started with a 'dream' and eventually became the way we view the world. With no vision, we go in circles. But lets wait til the "next president" gets elected. Give it some time and then we can talk abit more.
