If HRC runs in 2016, who should be the pro-worker, pro-peace, pro-justice candidate in the race?

[Ken Burch]

66. I didn't make ANYTHING up.

And none of the candidates I or others have suggested in this thread are that sort of ideologue.

The key isn't in having the party make a show of putting the left wing of the party in its place, the key is in showing that the progressive, even at times the radical, approach is, in fact, the most pragmatic and practical solution.

That's why the Civil Rights Act of 1964 got through, in part(yes there were some compromises, but surprisingly few and none of massive consequence)and that's why the Voting Rights Act of '65 got through. It became clear(among other things, through the work of people "screaming loud enough" to get the ideas through. We would never had ended Jim Crow if the matter had been left solely to "insiders". At most, there would probably be a law saying that the drinking fountains and restrooms couldn't be segregated on Tuesdays(holidays excepted).

The inside and the outside do need to work together...I never denied that...but that requires those on the inside to accept that the loud screamers on the outside have a legitimate and valid place in the process, and that those people need to be heard as much as the people who write big campaign checks.

(on edit) to clarify...Grayson was just one name...I wasn't meaning to put him first before all the others in terms of actual preference-he was just the first name to come to mind. It would make more sense to have a senator or a governor(and, if Russ Feingold were to win the Wisc. governor's race in '14, I'd think of him as well).
