Reply #74: Yes to Dennis, and if not him, someone else

[dreamnightwind]

I'd support Dennis with all my heart. I doubt that he has a chance in hell, partly due to the opposition of the powers that be, and partly because he's an easy guy to not take seriously and because he doesn't seem to me to be someone the dumbed-down masses in this country would ever get behind.

This kind of post, proposing that we actually take action and organize a progressive-left alternative to the corporacrats, is a great start. We need more of it, so thanks.

I personally would give my efforts to Dean or even Elizabeth Warren, or to some deserving person that isn't even on my radar yet.

But we really do need someone to unite around. Or a progressive umbrella that organizes within the democratic party as a counter movement to the corporate domination of the party that supposedly represents the left.

It's way past the point where supporting the corporate Dems and pressuring them to do what is right is a reasonable strategy. They spin their actions to the left while they ignore human needs and instead support their real power base, the corporations.

So I applaud your OP and Dennis, and say whether it's Dennis or someone else, we have to do it, it's time. Count me in.
