    Yes, I also know of Ralph Nader, he was that one that got Healthcare as a Human Right launched into our political discussions.

    Long term goals, while continuing to fight against the status quo, just like in the civil rights movements.

        Fearmongering will always come from the duopoly, since the status quo helps the owner-class and their profits.

        If the civil rights movements give in to fear instead of striving for a better world, the status quo in the United States would be much worse for Black Americans.

          Which magic third party candidate swooped in and pushed through the Civil Rights Act? What are you even talking about? It was JFK’s vice president, elected to his own term.
