Voting isn’t just about winning. It’s about telling the powers-that-be what you want.
You know how people describe the free market as “voting with your dollar”? Voting is like voting with your dollar. Except it’s voting with your vote.
Honestly, I think American democracy is already almost dead. America is a corporatocracy. The politicians think their job is to please the corporations, and the corporations will squeeze the life out of America as far as possible. Our communities are dead. People are broke and miserable. Families are falling apart. We’re turning against each other. The Democrats aren’t going to fix this. The Democrats helped create this.
The Democrats have to give us a reason to vote for them. They should be working to earn our vote rather than working to serve the corporations. “Vote blue no matter who” gives the Democrats no incentive to be better.
