Chris Hedges: "In this year’s presidential election I will vote for a third-party candidate"

[SunsetDreams]

81. I don't agree with Chris Hedges

I will not be a Third Party voter. I am voting Democratic, the party that represents me. Have they done everything that I want? Absolutely not, but I realize they've had obstacles in the way, ie a Republican party of NO that does everything it can to not get anything done, because they want the Democrats, specifically the President to fail. Hey it works with people who don't look at the bigger picture of what is going on and the reasons that things are at a stand still now. I will not ignore that and vote for some other candidate in this case party because I didn't get everything done when I wanted it. Voting third party is a vote for the Republicans. NO thank you. I will vote for Obama and Democrats. We need to take back the House and get more of our party elected in the Senate to truly effect change. I'm not going to take my ball and go home. If Chris Hedges wants to vote Third party that is his right, but he is throwing his vote away out of "principle" that only amounts to going backwards. Progressives don't seek to move backwards, we are forever looking forward and seeking more change to make things better.
