Thread Name: BS: Gore Bows Out With Class
Subject: RE: BS: Gore Bows Out With Class
Ron, are you suggesting that Gore is "the solution"? Gimmee a break! Break out of that conventional box thinking, and give alternative candidates a chance. Do you REALLY think the world can be any more fucked up than the conventional corporate funded two party system has made it?

There isn't just one solution, and god knows the myriad of problems we face in this world aren't going to be solved on our behalf by the malevolent forces that rule the corporate two party system. The solutions will be found by us, the people, not the plutocrats. We all pick and choose our battles. For some it will be to work on corporate reform, for some it will be work on environmental issues, for others it will be on human rights, for others it will be on racial or gender discrimination, for others it will be health care reform. Just because you can't get your head around the idea of a third party candidate being "realistic" doesn't mean anything, except that you have automatically limited your thinking in just the way the plutocrats have ordered you to, Ron. Do I think any third party candidate is going to be elected in 2004? Well I tell you what, prior to Jesse Ventura winning in Minnesota, I thought it couldn't happen either. But when you are faced with the supposedly impossible becoming reality, your whole view of what is possible changes.

The third party movement is definitely eating away at the tyranny of the two party system. The two party system can't last forever, history has proven that much. It will give way to new ideas and new ways of doing things, the only question is when. That time could be upon us. Maybe not two years from now, but it is most definitely possible to see the two party system collapse within the next 10-15-25 years. I fully anticipate seeing both a black and a woman as president in that time too. The world is changing dramatically, whether people want to believe and accept the changes or not.
