host....I agree with you on many issues. I even accept the undue influence of the PTB.

But here is where we part ways.....I believe in a pragmatic approach to affecting change by working the system where you believe in a "people's revolution" to take the power back from the PTBs.

host...the problem with your approach is that you cant have "people's revolution" without the people...and the fact is, you dont have them on your side.

What you might accomplish is the reverse of your goal...driving many moderate Independents back to the right. What I am trying to accomplish is to act on those growing number of policy issues where those moderate Independents will ally with progressives and build on that foundation.
