..."The Nation" billed itself as a place for debate between liberals and radicals. Sadly, those days are long gone, and their editorial position is "Vote Dem," and has been for over 20 years.
Promote the illusion that left-progressive politics have any hope of being realized thru the DP.
When push comes to shove, DK supports the DP's candidates, no matter how pro-war, pro corporate,...
BBB (Bankruptcy-Bill Biden), the Senator from MBNA, is now VP-elect. He and O-bomb-a both opposed a cap of 30% on what credit card companies could charge in interest.
Up until 1978 such interest...

FISA.
The PATRIOT Act.
NAFTA. The WTO.
Supports expansion of the death penalty.
On the international law front, since treaties are co-equal with the Constitution as "supreme law of the...
Savior of capitalism? No thanks -- it's way past time it crashed and burned. Modern monopoly capitalism can't survive without massive bailouts, wars, and other gov't supports.
When the recession...
My first vote for prez, in 1968, was for Dick Gregory. I also voted for Eldridge Cleaver and Ron Daniels. This year I may vote for McKinney/Clemente.

Here in NM, only two progressive choices are on the ballot: McKinney/Clemente and Nader/Gonzalez. Write-ins tend to get "lost" around here, so I'll vote for one of them.
McKinney/Clemente are on the ballot here in New Mexico, as well as Nader/Gonzalez, so there's a chance at least some progressive votes will be counted.
My favorite ticket -- Gloria La Riva/Eugene...

NAFTA and its progeny,
"Republican ideas on...

As I said above:
Look at the results of evil-lesserism over time -- say the last 60 years. The movement over time, as a result of voting for ever more imperialist, corporatist, authoritarian Dems...
