I really wish I could post at DemocraticCircleJerk.com. I love to poke these “lesser-evil-ites” in the sternum.

The way I see it, it’s not business as usual.

Lesser-evil, fear driven voting from the Left does two things:

1.)Pushes the Left further right.

2.)Creates a false sense of accomplishment and security.

The only way I could justify this AGAIN is if we had an independent and forceful grass roots movement in motion… RIGHT NOW that would be setting up targets and taking them out one by one. What targets? Overturn Citizens United, campaign finance reform, fixing black box voting, busting up media monopolies and a host of other NECESSITIES.

Otherwise we just slide further and further to the right until one day shit heads at D.U. are defending the democratic party’s version of Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry against the “Greater Evil” of the day.

There comes a time when you have to face the fact that you can’t just take the path of least resistance, the safe route. You have to look inside and realize that, all things considered, if you throw in with the status quo you are actually aiding and abetting the delayed demise of your party and the things you “claim” to hold on to ideologically and morally.

How much worse will these people let it get? What will they eventually do? Will they EVER call out their own?

I’m saying that writing in a candidate or, if you’re actually okay with it, not voting CAN actually signal and initiate a sea change. Could it elect a Republican? Realistically? Yes. I know, that would be disastrous but consider this; not standing up, not taking the reigns, not calling out failure of our own can’t possibly help our cause. It only delays the slide into crazy corporofascist land. And judging by this new breed of Right Wing Democrats we’ve bred somehow lately, the situation calls for serious action.

We have to draw a clear distinction between reality and the world created by corporate money. Time and time again polls are ignored, Congress is despised, we WANT single payer health care, we WANT to make those who crashed the global economy pay-and on, and on but NOTHING really happens!

Desperate times..
