But I also refused, this time, to vote for any Third Party candidates, regardless of how much Green Party candidate Jill Stein and her Green New Deal represented nearly everything I believe in.
Why?
Since the 2008 election, when I still foolishly and naively believed that my vote meant anything, I have become convinced that the U.S. electoral system merely disguises a corrupt, brutal economic/political/militarist system which depends on the continued domination and exploitation of the planet, its people, other species, and resources for its existence, and that my vote only gives this evil system more legitimacy.
Most people I know, very good people, refuse to face the fact that we now live in an evil empire which is not only capable of doing horrible things, but is actually doing those things every day all over the world. They cannot bring themselves to face the bitter truth that the political/economic/militarist system in which we live is essentially and fundamentally evil, based on violence, exploitation (of people & planet), and the commodification/objectification of everything, including life itself. This system will continue as long as the Ruling Class and its two political parties run things, regardless of which Corporate/Militarist/Wall Street figurehead sits in the White House. As Noam Chomsky has said: " If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged. "
