even when it comes to the presidency, my vote is more than window dressing. It's not as meaningful as it should be, but it's not devoid of it either.

On the local level and the state level? Anything but. Bernie, Pat and Peter in Congress. A progressive state house that rocks. A viable third party. and more.
