Cheery first post for the year'had progressives not voted for Ralph Nader in Florida in 2000, Al Gore would have become president, and we never would have been lied into two illegal wars, given trillions in tax breaks to billionaires, or gotten John Roberts and Sam Alito on the Supreme Court...Had progressives in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin not voted for Jill Stein in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have become president and America would have been spared the trauma of 500,000 unnecessary Covid deaths; Barret, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch on the Court; another $5 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires; and the ongoing DOGE assault'#usPol #historicalContext #democracy #whereToFromHerehttps://hartmannreport.com/p/why-do-third-party-dreams-keep-turning-4d7

@oscarjiminy and if Dems had supported more progressive candidates, we'd have all that and universal health care and good climate policy and properly sized and regulated corporations and democracy in Palestine.most politicians will do the bare minimum to get elected while serving the interests of the corporate donors who help them win their primary. the Dems will go as far right as we let them.we need #RankedChoiceVoting.

'America would be a very, very different country with a progressive Supreme Court and an expansion, rather than the destruction, of New Deal and Great Society programs that built and sustained the middle class. In other words, ironically, we’d be a lot closer to the goals of the Green Party today if they’d never run a presidential candidate in those elections'
