[lbo-talk] Neither Soros's Dems nor Bush's GOP

Since the 21st-century anti-war/anti-corporate New Left in the United States is a populist left, it's likely that it will continue to oppose transforming the United States political system into even more of a Plutocracy.

So if Ralph ends up challenging both Soros's Dems and Bush's GOP on an anti-corporate/anti-plutocratic basis then even the Old Left's "lesser-evilists" may not be able to prevent Ralph from obtaining over 33% of the U.S. popular vote in 2004--especially if Soros's Dems and Bush's GOP aren't allowed to exclude independent non-plutocrat-subsidized presidential candidates from the televised presidential debates in 2004. Once Ralph is in the White House, presumably he would prevent the plutocrats, the corporations, and the corporate media from ever again rigging the U.S. electoral system; and he would, presumably, move towards quickly establishing an electoral system of proportional representation and quickly abolishing the U.S. electoral college.

It's interesting that Soros is also apparently working with Real Network Inc. CEO Rob Glaser on Soros's effort to take over the Democratic Party presidential campaign, since Rob Glaser's foundation has apparently given two grants, totalling $100,000, to help subsidize Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! show in recent years
