Protest Votes


A vote for Trump will
  • Be an endorsement of a pro-white, racist candidate 
  • Embolden the racist, "Make America White Again" element here at home.
  • Help prolong our wars against various regimes around the world.
  • Guarantee Israel's settlement building, US military aid, and oppression of Palestinians.
  • Make weapons manufacturers a lot of money.
  • Lead to more free-market, business friendly,  anti-environment, R-like economic policies that favor business over people.
  • Less gridlock.
  • Reduce Taxes on the wealthy.
  • Increase taxes on the rest of us.
  • Hurt the poor and lower-middle class.
  • Help the world's elite.
  • Make the gun nuts happy.
  • Put the Taliban-like, evangelical Mike Pence one heart beat away from the presidency.

A vote for Hillary will
  • Be an endorsement of the policies that led to the Trump's rise.
  • Help prolong our wars against various regimes around the world.
  • Guarantee Israel's settlement building, US military aid, and oppression of Palestinians.
  • Make weapons manufacturers a lot of money.
  • Lead to more free-market, business friendly,  pro-environment, D-like economic policies that favor business over people. 
  • Lead to four more years of gridlock.
  • Have little affect on taxes on the wealthy.
  • Have little affect on taxes on the rest of us.
  • Hurt the lower-middle class.
  • Help the world's elite.
  • Piss-off the gun nuts even though there will be no gun control legislation
  • Keep the Taliban-like, evangelical Mike Pence far away from the presidency.

I can't vote for either.

For those on the left with similar feelings. I'd suggest a protest vote only if you live in a Deep Red state like Indiana, where Trump is going to win regardless of the left-wing vote.

Write in "Jill Stein", "Bernie Sanders" or "None of the above". 

The D's have to be told that they can't just keep forcing crappy establishment candidates on the people.

For the rest of you, let your conscience be your guide,

Vote HRC if your stomach will allow but, as a party, the R's have already crashed-and-burned. The D's may have to crash too if we're ever going to get a governing class that cares about the people.
