Reply #12: We DO need new solutions [View All]

as well as new leaders. I am leaning more and more toward third party politics, especially after noting that only third party candidates are involved in the recounts.

Lets face it, we have a system that is absolutely rotten to the core.Politicos become beholden to those who write the largest checks, then become lobbyists for those self same interests thus the beat goes on.

I believe that only when a party like the Greens rise to a national level and begin to become pivotal in the decision making process can the stranglehold of big money be broken.

At the same time we need to keep and forge links with progressive democrats and keep the lines of dialog open with even the most conservative among them.
