If you’re not familiar with “Americans Elect,” this post by Dante Atkins at DKos yesterday will help bring you up to speed. Essentially, AE is an online group that intends to field its own presidential candidate in this year’s election. Supposedly, its nominee will be selected by successive online votes by everybody who joins AE, culminating with a final “election” in June. That nominee would then select a running mate who must be from a political party other than the nominee’s own.
The more I find out about this organization, the more it sounds like nothing so much as a front group working to advance the interests of the 1%.
