The Democrats, Perot and the Left
Kopkind, Andrew | July 20, 1992 issue

add to cart   close window

The electoral system in the U.S. is now being convulsed by the broadest, fiercest voter insurgency in perhaps 140 years, and is watching from the sidelines. Worst of all, the receptacle of these volatile political humors is Presidential candidate Ross Perot. Despite the mayhem he can inflict on an unresponsive system, Perot is a catastrophe for the progressive/activist spectrum. Insurgent labor, minorities, feminists, lesbians and gays, environmentalists, community organizers, peace internationalists, the coalition that once made up the Rainbow, are in varying degrees offended by Perot's campaign but, more important, excluded from it on any terms but his.
