Oliver Hall, ballot access attorney for Ralph Nader and also ballot access attorney for several minor parties over the last decade, has this letter in the print edition of the New York Times, February 17. The letter rebuts the implication by Todd Gitlin (in an article published in the July 12 issue) that electoral activity should be confined to the two major parties.
Most of the CIVILIZED free world has proportional representation election systems — i.e. multi-parties — Germany, Israel, New Zealand, Netherlands, Denmark, etc.
[BUT with defective *parliamentary* systems NOT having separation of powers].
The USA has its DARK AGE minority rule pack/crack gerrymander systems — inherited from the DARK AGE English regime.
Result – the worse and worse communist Donkey and fascist Elephant machinations.
