Could an Independant Win Doing This? |
|
I think most of us here agree that our democratic institutions need to be cleaned out. If an indpendant ran for governor lets say, and pledged to sign all social and economic bills that come out of the house that are created by the dems and reps and focus only on: getting corporate money out of politics, IRV voting, ability to recall, and lowering legislators wages do you think that person could win?

Was John B. Anderson in 1980. He didn't stand a chance, but he did make some sense. "My heart is on the left and my pocketbook is on the right."

4. An indy doesn't stand a chance |

I don't agree with it, but I'm not foolish enough to believe otherwise and throw my vote away (or to the repukes) just to make a principled stand.
