Thank you, Nader, for giving us the Bush-Cheney presidency.
Always yours,
The Plutocrats
This is your monthly reminder that no political party is ever owed a vote, they have to earn it.
Reminder that voting is not an act of self-expression, but a strategic action that nudges the country towards your preferred future.
Withholding your vote or voting for a third party can be such a strategy. Not a great strategy, perhaps, but neither is simply knuckling under and voting as you’re told. Progressives can either not vote for democrats, and be blamed for their defeat, or they can vote for them and have their issues disregarded in victory.
Progressives can change things locally first, and many choose to do so. Getting interested in politics every 4 years to tell everyone not to vote is much easier, of course.
Oh yes, and funner too
I won't vote for the lesser of two evils. Won't do it
Thank you for Bush-Cheney and Trump.
