22. "Lesser of two evils" voting only promotes more running by "evils"
That is why I have always voted "for" someone even when in the past that has meant occasionally looking to Greens or Indies. If we don't make the Democratic party be the party of working people, then we have only ourselves to blame. Voting for Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman ain't gonna cut it. Nebraska and Connecticut can both be won by working class heroes if we want them to be. If politics is the art of the possible, and we define our own reality, then we determine what is possible. Or we can sit on our asses and keep saying "it can't be done" and keep letting the powers that be win. It is up to us.
