In reply to the discussion: It's never not timely for a radical leftist to say this. Over and over again. [View all]coalition_unwilling
(14,180 posts)30. Here's an argument in support of your position that should appeal to all leftists: Even
if we grant that Obama is a center-rightist, that does not obviate the fact that Romney is all but a self-declared fascist, seeking the complete merger of corporation and state into a single seamless entity.
All leftists who are registered to vote today are presented with the opportunity to cast a vote against fascism this November by voting for Obama. Only the most childish, self-centered leftist will fail to take advantage of that opportunity to deliver a rebuke to fascism by voting for Obama and, by so doing, nipping that incipient fascism in the bud.
It is a leftist's civic duty to stand against fascism, whenever and wherever it rears its head and lays bare its visage. A vote for Obama is a vote against fascism.

Of course you're not interested. You don't have any case. Are you with Obama or not?

Tsk. Tsk. You must have the archaic notion that your vote, opinions, belongs to you.

I'm proposing that my vote belongs to me to use (or not use) as I see fit.

Then we'll never learn one of the two lessons taught to us by the 2000 election.

That voting for Ralph Nader most certainly HELPED George W Bush by splitting the Anti-W vote.
