... in order to ensure no backsliding.Consensus politics in action. :)It's still a weird workaround - but yes. I'm merely wryly noting how it works, not overtly criticising.Having done a little research, it also seems the sensible Greens tend to come in under the Democratic Umbrella... which would explain why your Greens are distilled to the Batshit or Bust brigade.

Why has"the man" and his minior of "elites" continue to deny the public an important voice? Dr Flowers would be a perfect candidate for the Unstable States of America!

Between Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Jill Stein and now Dr. Margaret Flowers I think it's become apparent what part of health care really needs to be reformed: we need to have higher standards for who gets a medical degree.

The CO ballot has more than 20 presidential candidates on it. Maybe we could just throw them all in a ring together and see how that pans out?

Any plans as to how to get it implemented? Or is she planning on twirling in place clicking her heels while reciting "Single Payer Now!" over and over again?

There's always a little bit of medieval in every hipster.
