People, like it or not, in the eyes of the majority we are RADICAL FREAKS. We are the left wing equivalent of freepers, and many of our ideals are political poison in a presidential election year. People latched onto the media-promoted idea of Dean as a rabid psycho because they are afraid of being pulled too far in either direction. Dean is our Pat Buchanon, and his take no prisoners attitude is terrifying to the status quo. Don't get me wrong, we need him and every other outspoken person we can get - just don't expect to win with them.

Revolution will never come from the presidential race - there is far too much at stake. If you want change, start with local and state political offices.
