For leftists like me, questions to think over [View All]

[jpgray]

Why isn't Nader 'landsliding' Bush? Why didn't Kucinich win our primary? Is it because voters aren't interested in leftist values, or is it because the system is stacked against leftist values?

Let's take each a step further:

Since leftist values are in the best interest of the majority, why do so few vote for Nader/Kucinich? Is it the media that color voter perceptions against Nader/Kucinich and leftist values? If it's the media, how can the media be changed? The media are controlled by corporations. How do you limit or affect the control of corporations? By changing the system?

If the system is stacked against leftist values, how do you fix the system? Either you wait for it to collapse, or you change it. The only way to change it is from the inside. The vast majority of candidates can't or won't get elected or nominated with leftist values, so what do you do?

edit: No Nader-bashing please--focus your replies on the questions, if you would. I'm no fan of the guy's stock portfolio or his hypocrisy, but he does espouse leftist values.
