Reply #15: 1) If we had a system [View All]

[marions ghost]

of Proportional Representation in place, obviously more of us could get behind a third party. But we don't have such a system. 2) It would be great if we could abolish the Electoral College system NOW, and so exactly how do you propose to do that before 2008? I'm talking about making such goals a reality too, but I think we are way behind the 8-ball and must harness our power collectively somehow before we can have a chance of changing anything about our antiquated dysfunctional system. Do you know if any of the 3 new progressive orgs being discussed here have either of these as a stated goal?

I agree with you that millions of people are tired of throwing their votes away. If going along with the DLC had done something FOR us, it would be one thing...but it's easy to see that it hasn't. Serving the people was obviously not a part of the DLC's "winning" strategy. I think we're all tired of the rhetoric and want to see some effective action. So tell me how these miracles would realistically be accomplished by 2008? What lobbyists with how much money?
