Ah, good. I was wondering what had happened to Dan.

I think he’s on to something; D and R tickets have been poisoned; a new worker’s movement is needed that is proudly independent and runs at municipal, state and federal levels. No need to chase POTUS — if enough independents get seats in the senate, they’ll hold the balance of power. There’s only 100 seats, and all they need to have an initial powerful voice is for both D and R to have fewer than 49 of those. At that point, the independents effectively decide what bills get passed and what bills get defeated.
