The start of a debate between U.S. Senate candidates in Maryland was delayed just a little bit this morning when Green Party candidate Dr. Margaret Flowers took the stage and stood between Republican Kathy Szeliga and Democrat Chris Van Hollen, insisting that she be allowed to take part anyway, because democracy and freedom and stuff. And really, why not?
... 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.
Do you know who I am? Oh...you don't? Well, I'm Dr. Margaret Flowers. You can call me Peggy. And there are literally dozens of Marylanders who will vote for me for the U.S. Senate!! Dammit!!
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.
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?

I seed what you did there.
Dr. Flowers was quoted as saying "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America!"

I'm thinking it is.
On the ground in Reisterstown, Szeliga seems to have an edge.
Haha!

speaking as an obamacare person who DELIGHTS in the thought of single payer financing, she really needs new shoes and a longer skirt.
i adore this. thank you.
it's like the medieval version of being a hipster.
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?

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