I find The American political system amazing, and the people who support it even more amazing.

Carol has given numerous examples of Kucinich's popularity with the American electorate,yet because his policies are at odds with "Corporate America" he is extremely unlikely to gain nomination.

How on earth can folk like Bill, Don, and others countenance this state of affairs and still call themselves "democrats"

Surely it should be clear that the changes required to give Americans a proper health service, a minimum wage and a properly funded social service framework will never be achieved under the present electoral system.

Any meaningful political change has always had to fought for by the people making their voices heard in protest.

Hoping that things will improve by voting in another branch of "the firm" has never worked historically and is destructive.
People who propagate these ideas are doing a disservice to real democracy...Ake
