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

161. Very well put

Nothing really to add. I'd still vote Obama, although if Mitt wins, there is even less of a difference to show for it. ObamaCare and RomneyCare are six of one, half a dozen of the other. Obama has already shown he isn't as progressive as his primary declarations implied, and probably Mitt isn't as teaparty as some of his more extreme declarations have implied.

It more about voting for the candidates overlords and the influence they weld on them. Democrats and Obama are bought out, but still have a few reps left with a shred of moral dignity and also have some kind of historical pedigree, since FDR at least, to if not influence their positions, then perhaps to at least shame them into doing what is right. The Rethugs are 100% corporate tools where servicing the 1% is the only goal.

And hey if you can have the last word in a sub-thread with ProSense, your doing something right!
