Oh yeah, that'll show 'em! It'll show 'em just how weak and marginal we are, especially if we really try. I'm sure there are maybe 200 people who'll tell you that Nader's a sellout and we should really be going for McKinney.

This is just my point about presidential politics. The Green Party should be focusing on building a nationally linked but locally aimed movement. Elect people to city councils, state legislatures, maybe the U.S. House. Change election laws where you can. Push for things like single-payer. And forget about the fucking presidency!!!!!
