@Daojoan The binary & realistic choice in a Two-party system to #vote in this #Election in the #USA...

Where as:
The #Bolivarian Revolution that led #HugoChavez in #Venezuela victory,

The election of #SalvadorAllende in #Chile

The election/re-installation of #EvoMorales & #MAS Party back in #Bolivia after the failed #Coup

The #FrenteAmplio (Popular Front) in #Uruguay

The #Sandinistas in #Nicaragua, etc.

They were unbinary & unrealistic, yet have accomplish grand goals that this system!

Problem with wanting to start something new on this planet, is the 8 billion+ other people who also would like some land to call their own.

Start it on the Moon, there's nobody there and if things go wrong you can easily flee back to Earth
