Found this poster on the Occupy Democrats’ Facebook page.

They posed an interesting thought in the remarks about the poster.

The takeaway from this election is that if we want progressive reforms, popular ballots might be the most effective electoral strategy. Let’s up and down vote on the most important social, economic, and environmental justice questions of our time. It’s time we bypass the two-party system corrupted by corporate money. Who’s ready for direct democracy? What are your thoughts?

During the civil rights era, progressives found the way to get things done was to use the Supreme Court.  Now that regressives have managed to block that avenue, we just need to find another avenue.  Perhaps this is it.
