What are you fighting for?
I am fighting for a progressive future. Basically, I am fighting for everything that the Green party stands for. I am just fighting for that progressive future within the Democratic party.

As God as my witness, if I become (our local) Dem party chair this fall, liberal progressives will have another Democratic leader to be proud of.

I almost never bash liberal progressives, even if they belong to a third party. We are all on the same path, we just have different opinions on how to best get to where we are going.

So stop bashing the greens and other non-dem voters. The best use of your time would be to convince non voters to vote dem and to make sure that dems vote (and vote dem, not GOP).

1. It is more logical to work within the confines of any given system.
The current alteration of society means the middle class is evaporating.

We cannot be "self-reliant", we must work with each other in order to survive.

Instead of tv and ipods, we entertain each other.

We may not have jobs that allow us to live on our own, but we pool our resources.

Many immigrants who come here, legal or not, do these sorts of things and corporamerica takes full advantage. We can either sit back and whine, or attempt to adjust to the future.

I say adjust. I've been buying tools for work, hobby, and entertainment and I feel more empty and alone than ever before. The only difference is, I consciously realize it these days.


Or maybe the future is what we perceive it to be and what is to happen is something none of us can see? I do not know.

2. The environment
More specifically of late, Wilderness.

My spare activist time is take up with local environmental issues, but as the fall approaches (our primary isn't until September) I'll devote some (more) time to beating the republicans.
