5. Come on now
I'd totally vote for him *if* I thought he could win in our corrupt system. He's brilliantly progressive!

Unfortunately as I've said before, until we have publicly funded elections we'll continue to have to choose between (relatively) corporate candidates (apparently great chance of winning), semi-progressive/newly progressive candidates (decent chance of winning) or fully progressive candidates (awful chance of winning sadly).

At any rate, cheap shots about flying saucers isn't the way to criticize him and doesn't provide for any constructive discussion or debate.
