I think it's very troubling to see the reality of where the American political establishment is going - into this big tent, which is one happy Demo-Republican family.

It was a very interesting experience. You know, I don't think words could do it justice. Roseanne [Barr] is a comedian, a laugh a minute at every turn, and this time around she was actually going to be the vice presidential candidate of another Green Party candidate. So I guess she's still in the mix in some ways,sort of learning her politics as she goes, like a lot of us Americans who are getting thrown under the bus and for whom it is not a laughing matter. We are going to stand up and take this seriously and refuse to be intimidated out of the future that we deserve.

We cannot guarantee the human rights of any oppressed group alone.

I think, as a white person, I do not want to speak for a black person.

Where the states are dead set on suppressing political opposition, it's very hard to overcome that.

This is where the question always come up, "Aren't you going to split the vote?" To which the obvious answer is: Well let's just rank peoples' choices. This is a voting system we use across the country, from San Francisco to Portland, Maine, and the Twin Cities. It's used very successfully in single-office elections like mayor. It could be used for governor.

I don't trust their [Bill and Hillary Clinton ] sense of boundaries.
