3. Our vote is also the LAST bit of power we have over the wealthy and well-connected.

And those Republicans, lying about creating jobs and who are then voted into higher office because people believe those lies, are working diligently to take that last bit of power away from us as well.

Then America, Land of the Oligarchy, will successfully become the biggest plantation in the world.

We can't let that happen. Although the Democratic Party has too many milquetoast policians when it comes to policies that help the average working stiff, that Party is the last hope we average Americans have. And they are still a great threat to members of the oligarchy who are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to the GOP to turn this country into that great big plantation they've been striving for.

So splitting the vote for a candidate who markets him/herself as "a different kind of politician" is the death knell for us. Voting for a person like that will only undermine what little power we have left in our country if the Democratic Party becomes the minority Party in our government. We can't let that happen.

In the General Election - always vote Democratic Party! Remember, we have a winner take all election system and voting 3rd Party without having propelled them to prominence from local and State level up, is just another win for the opposing Party.
