      Depends on the election. I’m not asking you to do anything. I’m telling you you’re helping accomplish the opposite of what you want versus something close to what you want.

        impossible: what i want is for fascist to get out of office, not for a less-fascist politician to win. that’s why i’m planning to vote green again.

          Voting for a Golden Retriever would be just as effective, but with the added bonus of making people happy.

            cornel west didn’t put Thomas on the bench, and I don’t think he would have, so I’m going to vote for him.

            I don’t think a golden retriever could dismantle the American empire with the same efficacy as cornel west, and I e never heard one promise to do so. I’m just going to vote for cornel west: is actually on the left and he never wrote a bill that jailed people or funded police and prisons and military adventurism.
