I don't give a rat's ass WHO'S running in 2016 because...

19. But the potential candidates for 2016

are on a different timeframe. They are looking for support now, vocal support if nothing more, to evaluate if they have the people behind them. They are also looking at organizational and funding issues. Those things will not wait until 2015. It is you who are giving the false narrative. Preparations happen early, or to a great extent they don't happen. If I'm wrong, tell me how I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

I don't want a token Kucinich-type token liberal candidacy, I want a real candidate putting progressive policies on their shoulders and presenting them to the American public as the best path forward, with conviction and with a huge and determined organization behind them. When's the last time that happened in this country? 'Cause I'm pretty old, and I can't remember it, ever (the Howard Dean campaign, maybe, that's somewhat of a stretch though, and I'm a little too young to remember the McGovern campaign well). It's time, no more of the same B.S. third-way triangulated corporatism, it's time for the left's issues to get a serious hearing, not because I want it, but because this country desperately needs it.
