Reply #91: You're really working at mischaracterizing other people's position.

Question whatever you want. Push whatever issues you want. But at the end of the day comes a vote. At that point, your only choice is to help get the most progressive candidate who can win elected, or not. That's not my fault or anybody else's - that's the political system of this country (winner take all). Now, if you want the country to move left, if you want the environment protected, international law respected, etc., the way to do it is to vote for the more progressive candidate, even if he isn't progressive enough for you.

"Put forward by people" . . . What people? You're a people, aren't you? Why not try to work within the system? But again, that doesn't mean the whole system is going to jump when you say frog. A lot of people with more experience in politics than you and I know what can sell and what can't, what can get you elected and what sends you down in flames.
