3rd Party Voting & Withholding Your Vote
#VotesAreEarned — not demanded, or owed.
The way the Electoral College votes work, it is mathmatically small that any one or even 10s of thousands of votes will make a difference in the outcome of a Presidential Election — even in “battleground states”.
Read all about how voting 3rd party votes *don’t impact* the election, in most cases. And why voting 3rd party may be the *BEST* strategic option for the best way to make the change we want and need.
There are 4 articles, and watch Jimmy Dore’s video on #WithholdingYourVote at the end of the list:
snip: There are two kinds of wasted votes that mathematically have no effect on the final election:
– Votes cast for candidates who did not win
– Excess votes cast for winning candidates
Clearly, neither of these kinds of votes statistically affect the election. However, many arguments only mention the first type without mentioning the second. Mathematically and logically, both categories are ineffectual votes.

snip: The lesser of two evils is still evil.
You have become a political prostitute. You aren’t standing up for what you believe in by voting “the lesser of two evils.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of being a political hooker.

snip: What forced the Democratic Party to shift left after decades of moving to the right? Fear that progressives will withhold their votes this coming November.
After years of empty threats from progressives, the November 2016 voter boycott proved they wouldn’t sell their votes without getting something in return.
The answer to the question, what should progressives do, is easy in the long term. Progressives should boycott Democratic candidates who don’t credibly pledge to support progressive policies.
Both political parties are controlled by Wall Street’s monied interests … and have been for decades. That needs to change. One party must break free.
Electing Joe Biden cements in place Wall Street running both parties for at least another decade … and that’s the real threat to our post-industrial civilized society (see my Sep. 2016 St Louis Post Op-Ed below).
The same logic applies in 2020.
Jimmy Dore detailing the #WithholdYourVote philosophy and why it is an *important* option for disaffected, dissenfranchised voters.

#NeverBiden
Biden is on the same fascist path as Trump … he is just nicer about it!
Before you get too committed to Biden, read these articles and follow *all* the links:

This is the best explanation I’ve read of how it happened that Bernie was replaced by Biden, an obvious loser. For the Dem Party elite, it’s not about winning the election.
