On Voting

It’s not my position to tell you how to vote, or even whether you should or not.  Since I’ve been eligible I’ve only missed once because I had a traffic accident on the way to the polls (and that includes primaries too).

I’m a registered Democrat and I’ve often voted the party line, even to the extent of snooting the Republican Election Commissioner who’s guaranteed a job by virtue of his party affiliation.  On the other hand I supported Lowell Weicker against Joe Lieberman and later as Governor.

This year my enthusiasm for voting is bordering on the negative numbers, and yet I will still drag myself out.

I have the luxury of supporting the Working Families Party to register my dissatisfaction with the corporate whores of Washington, you may find it more difficult to express your disapproval.

While I sympathize I’ll offer no guidance, you should make up your own mind, but I will say that I think that it’s critically important if you are unhappy with the direction of our Republic you find a way to make it clear to our ignorant arrogant elites.

They depend on our votes and eyeballs for their phony baloney jobs.

    the luxury of living in a very red state. as a life-long liberal that gives me some leeway to vote my true conscience in some races. for example i will be voting Green Party rather than for the candidate Greene (but gha! who wouldn’t?) on other races where it looks like the R has a landslide i feel able to vote for a candidate other than D & thus show my displeasure to the D’s. if the race is close (withing 15 pts polling) i vote D

    the thing is, no matter what- i vote.

    A I pointed out I had the luxury of supporting the Working Families Party to register my dissatisfaction with the corporate whores until a corporate whore named Andrew Cuomo decided to bulldoze the Working Families Party.

    My man, Eric Schneiderman, the only real progressive in New York has been kneecapped by the “weak business lobby” that Andrew Cuomo imagines and is now neck and neck with the wingnut. Clinton is on the horn.

    Cuomo, slime bucket that he is has not endorsed the Democrat running for Comptroller. Tom DiNapoli was actually cleared by Cuomo of any wrongdoings but Cuomo feels it would be inappropriate. Sort of the way obama felt about the Democratic candidate for governor in Rhode Island. It looks like Tom DiNapoli is going down and so is the Democratic majority in the State Senate.  

    But Andrew Cuomo is safe at home.
