The Senate is a structurally reactionary body, by design.
i have to admit, what i’m really hearing in this discussion is that
it’s worth abandoning any third party and going partisan dem hardcore.
which would really disappoint me — and would be entirely too satisfying
to a couple of my friends. :)
No, I’m not for that at all, though I do think that 3rd party runs
for president are vain in every sense. You’ve got to start low and
build up. But the “not a dime’s worth of difference” rhetoric isn’t
accurate, and isn’t credible to a huge number of people. There is a
dime’s worth of difference, though maybe not a half dollar’s.
