I think we've talked the election to death. We all know where each of us stands, even if it seems like we hold cartoon versions of each others views. I certainly understand the fear of another Bush regime--I became an activist during Reagan when we had far less power and everything seemed hopeless. Yoshie, I, and the others who crticize the ABB stuff understand that most of the folks on the list are holding their nose vis a vis Kerry and plan to work against him in November.

I say, why wait? What kind of stuff can we discuss now? What can we do to reverse the Republican hold on the red states? How can we create some prairie populism? Which way should the anti-globalization movement go? What's the best way to monkeywrench corporations? How about that grassroots anti-Wal-Mart movement?
