For the past few years, I’ve read any number of “Left” pundits, along with various bloggers and commenters on blogs saying that there’s “no difference between the parties,” and that “Obama is the same as Bush.” … These past two weeks should have put a stop to that.
….
“Look at all of those statements, at all the actions, and if you still think there’s “no difference between the parties,” then you’re beyond hope. Anyone who continues to say that is not a progressive! They may say they are, they may claim to be “speaking for the base,” but given the objective reality that there is a real, and significant difference between the two parties, they’re most definitely not speaking for the base. They have other motives to stop you from voting, and it’s not to your benefit. It probably is to theirs.
— NOW Do You Think There’s No Difference Between Parties?
That’s why it’s important to get out and vote this coming November. There’s a lot at stake, and there is a very real choice happening. One party wants to take us into the future, the other wants to take us back to 1900. If you don’t realize that, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.”
yes, I do. US imperialism continues under both democrats and republicans.
second of all, Carter is not without fault. let’s not forget the Carter Doctrine and all his meddling in the Middle East and South America!
the fact that with the decline of organized labor in the US, the Democrats had to turn to corporations for campaign contributions.
also, this isn’t an endorsement of Nader or anything, but if you watch the documentary about him, “An Unreasonable Man”, you will learn why third parties stand no chance in the US because the Democrats & Republicans band together to make it that difficult.
also there’s just the fact that a lot of leftists just outright reject liberalism and the idea of representative democracy so yeah :|
i make no pretense of having a better solution, and i don’t have faith in a socialist revolution in this country, but i can’t in good faith consider myself someone who stands in solidarity with POC around the world and in this country and vote for an imperialist president.
also have we forgotten about Obama signing the NDAA?
