As Hawk says, America is not ready for revolution and as Genie says no point in duplicating the Soviet model.

My idea corresponds with Bobs,but instead of inviting the independents to join the left.....the left should be joining the independents. Left policies are far to divisive to produce any sort of unity with centre America. As we are the ones with all the brains
:0),we should be able to understand that sometimes one must give ground in order to advance
We should start listening to what ordinary people are saying, and uniting under a simple programme based on the constitution
The left want to live by committee the independents want FREEDOM!
Infiltrate, learn to listen, try to influence, and open yourselves up to the influence of others.....you may learn something.

Most important forget EVERYTHING you have absorbed from a lifetime wasted on Party Politics.
