All the way across the pond, and I get i...I get it. All the way across the pond, and I get it very well. I helped get the Green Party on the ballot in California in 1992, was active in Green Party politics for several years, and voted Green for any and all candidates (until there were none), or until I had become so disheartened at the continual lamenting of how the Green Party got George Bush elected, and how the Green Party had failed. These laments from seeming fellow lefties, as you say, progressives to the nth degree, but who could not/would not stand with that growing party at any time while it was burgeoning with the likes of Ralph Nader and Media Benjamin. The same old story.. that of the two-party system is set up for a third to always fail. As for George Bush having won over Al Gore in 2000, well, we all know that voting machines in Florida had more to do with that victory. It's a scary conundrum, but I must say that I am glad to see your questioning here, and I keep hoping there is a bigger shift for many, but right now, don't see that happening too soon.
