Toward this end I intend to vote for Hill and donate $27 to Jill.

The guy who wrote this has a good point. It seems entirely possible the way things are set up there. I don't think it would work the same way in the UK or in Australia. I had a friend over there who was very involved in getting progressives involved in their local precincts to take over the mostly vacant positions there. It is exactly what the tea party did with the Republican structure and the same structure exists with the Democrats. People's political apathy and disengagement has created this vacuum but it is just waiting for progressives to fill all these vacancies and voila! they will have a party all theirs. Now is the time.
