Their plausibility is a gift from you and everyone like you. Thanks so much for fucking the rest of us over.

You blame me for this fucked up system? Yeah, I'm not carrying that weight.

I worked for years for third party politics. I was a card-carrying member of the LP. Worked for ballot access for both LP and the Green Party. If that's how you want to activate, go do it. I'm done with it. I see the system for what it is: Corrupt.

As long as we have first-past-the-post voting, laws stacked against any third party or independent candidates, and a complicit media, third parties are a pit into which people throw their passions and their energy and their money, with no resulting change.

You do what you gotta do, and I'm gonna do what I gotta do. What I gotta do is help build communities of resistance, and make it as expensive and inconvenient as possible for this shit to keep happening.

Well that's me told :) For what it's worth, I vote every time, never for one of the big two, and I tell people why.
