The reward Joe Lieberman will receive today is justified by the claimed need for more bipartisanship harmony. Is it even possible to have more than we have now?

    Ditto to Slackie Onassis

    In 2004, it was the Libertarians & Greens who went to court in Ohio insisting that the GOP had rigged the election. Somehow, this escaped Salon's attention.

    Coalitions are both moral and useful when they are transparent. The problem with our form is that they are opaque and unaccountable.

    As a Green who argued in 2000 that Nader should not have been on the ballot in Florida, Ohio or Pennsylvania AND should've made half our campaign efforts along the Rio Grande campaigning that all those Latinos in Texas planning to vote for Gore were wasting their vote, I wonder how long it's gonna take Democrats to realize that Nader doesn't speak for me or the party.

    Since we agree that depending on the Democrats always leaves democracy itself vulnerable, how about a discussion centering on strategy and tactics both inside and outside the two-party system?
