Thoughts on election reform
I wonder if maybe we progressives/liberals, etc should start trying to build the infrastructure that would allow 3rd parties to run.

Working for proportional representation in federal elections (IRV for Senate seats and proportional rep for the EC), and public funding of elections, media reform, etc, would have the added effect of making it so that truly progressive Democrats in the model of Wellstone and Kucinich could win races more easily as well.
