Fairly emblematic of Harrogate's despair at this election season is that, though this probably won't happen, if it did, the choice on Obama's part would not be at all out of character with the race he has run thus far.
That the idea is even floating out there, that one of Obama's surrogates if not (GASP) the candidate himself has not shot this down as silly, is itself something of a fitting "Fuck You" to the easily duped, and apparently entirely disposable progressive impulse in the United States of America.
Query: What will it take for political progressivism to get a fair shake in our electoral process? Is there any hope at all for such a phenomenon, in the foresseable future?

Closest we've come in recent times has been Kucinich. And, since he wasn't bought by corporate America and mainstream media IS PART OF corporate America, he became "unelectable".
What a pathetic state of affairs!
And, why are we as a nation so bigoted against nontheists that none would stand a chance even on a local level, even in my liberal district of New York City?
Separation of what and what again?
