It is way past time to put the two party system out of its misery. Yes, even Vt. is a two party state. There really is no difference between the Progs(in their current incarnation) and the Democrats. Pollina says parties do not matter and abandons the Progs–twice. Martha Abbot will defer to a Democratic candidate she likes. On the national level the party to end the war has not and has essentially maintained the corporate agenda. In Vermont the legislature cut services to those most in need and refused to raise taxes on the rich. And then they budgeted $300,000 to study health care reform instead of crafting a single payer socialized system. Vermont Yankee should have been shut down–NOW. The democrats and Progs had a veto proof majority.

So I urge you to vote insurgent, independent, and minor party candidates and abandon the status quo so change can happen.
