Mind-Shift

At the Vermont Progressive Party's blog, Chris Pearson makes a strong case for third party politics: "What is the point of challenging the massive inertia that is the two-party system? There are good democrats. There are independent-thinking Republicans. Why aren’t we just some of those? To me it’s because we simply need new answers – bold answers that, so far, haven’t been on the minds of the big parties . . . solutions can’t be wrapped up in the perfect piece of legislation. Instead they require an over-arching mind-shift."
