"Thank you for confirming. If the Green Party is on the ballot it will give Republicans a huge advantage that will help them win in North Carolina in 2022 and 2024. In past elections, we've seen that the Green Party takes votes away from Democrats, which helps Republicans win. With abortion rights in the balance, we can't afford to give Republicans more of an advantage. Are you interested in asking the elections board to have your name removed from this petition?"
Matthew said no, he did not want his name removed from his own election petition. But "Drew" was persistent.
"I understand this seems like a lot of effort, but we want to make sure the Democratic candidates have the best chance to win this November and this could make a big difference. Would you be willing to have your name removed?" Matthew asked, "What organization is this?" "Drew's" answer was "the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee." In the end, the Democrats were successful in throwing Matthew off the ballot. That's not democracy. And the Republicans do exactly the same thing to the Libertarian Party.
I could go on, but I'm starting to really make myself angry. I'm going to write some checks to the Green Party, the National Abortion Rights Action League and a small charity that puts Palestinian students through medical school.
I'm tired of the propaganda being force fed to the American people. In the immortal words of Howard Beale, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
