Nor can I.

The problem, however, is that there is no viable progressive third party, nor third party candidates who can do anything other than attract voters away from the Democratic candidates. Granted, the Dems are to the right of center, but they are still not as far right as the Republicans. They at least give lip-service to progressive values, and can be challenged on their own ground when they fail to live up to what they say.

I still maintain that the only practical way to take back the country from the far Right is the one Thom Hartmann outlined in the article I have linked to numerous times on these threads. But since Hartmann's approach is not an instantaneous cure and requires that people get up off their butts and actually do something rather than just sit at their computers pissing and moaning, it keeps getting dismissed without thought. A democracy is a participatory form of government, and in this country, the big problem is that too many people want someone else to do it for them.

Once again, an undoubtedly futile attempt:   (SIGH)
