National Journal reports: Things are bad out in Real America

[saras]

11. You understand that that's really stupid logic, and is not going to convince anyone...

...do you think there are that many more sheeple who can be roused by pure emotion that that's really worth doing anymore?

The problem I have with voting Democratic is that, when I vote for people who support evil policies, I feel PERSONALLY responsible for every innocent killed by a drone, for every person raped by the TSA, for every person raped or killed in prison, for everyone who's lost their home, or their community, or their relationships, or their employment, to the corporatists. It makes me want to kill myself, quite literally. The planet is better off without another person who will support those policies, whether they support slightly more or slightly less of them.

Eat more shit faster, because the phony "other side" will force you to eat it EVEN FASTER - is just not a solid program for victory.

Voting Democratic is obvious, and trivial, and unhelpful. It's like saying "and by the way, don't cut your hands off at the elbows." The real questions have to do with how we stop the Democrats from being evil, so that we could have a real debate about which goods to pursue. And honest elections, without a spoiler effect, seem to be the first thing we are missing.
