    No.

    I haven’t held my nose for a democrat for going on fourteen years and I’m not going to start now.

    I’m politically active far beyond voting and have spoken face to face with several representatives. They don’t care or listen.

    No amount of voting reform will fix the fundamentally unjust American political system.

    I have been doing the work and will continue to do so. Voting for PSL in this election is part of that work.

    If you’re reading this, don’t fall for the “oh if only we had star or ranked choice” fiddlefarting around the edges garbage. We live in under a fundamentally unjust political system and especially when both major parties are advocating in support of genocide there is no reasonable argument for performing the calculus required to declare one the lesser evil.

    Walk away from omelas.

      it must be really nice to be privileged enough to have this viewpoint. and all for what? so you can give yourself a nice ethical pat on the back when you help siphon from the dems, and the gop comes after women and minorities? not sure what your background is but damn dude that’s some fucked up shit

        Ok I’ve heard all kinds of different reasons someone might be privileged, but doing work on the ground for years and laying the groundwork for real activism rather than whatever the hell you call this terminally online bullshit, is now what you people call privilege?

        This shit is why Occupy died.
