[lbo-talk] Prop. 62 Would Squelch Third Parties in California

[Michael Dawson]

And talking about it and using it as a galvanizing and organizing weapon
until it happens would be in the top five agenda items for any political
party that gave a genuine crap about the bottom two-thirds of the society.
But, Nathan's captivity notwithstanding, the DP ain't that.  Stone cold
fact.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.  Passing a constitutional amendment is 
difficult, but it's not a revolution.  No more than the amendment that 
established direct election of senators in 1913.
