I threw away my vote yesterday
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 06/06/2018 - 1:44pmFor the first time since 1992 I wasted my vote - I voted for some Democrats.
Three of them. None of them got as much as 3% of the vote, but that's not the problem.
The problem was that I voted strategically. You know, "pragmatically". I voted for some Berniecrats in the hope that I could help accomplish something in the Democratic Party, rather than my normal strategy of voting 3rd party down the line.

My Something Old today is the song Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. He wrote it just after he left Genesis in the mid-70s.
"Reverie + Evolution = Revolution" (graffiti on the Sorbonne, France, May 1968). An Ode to C99 and Speaking Louder/Inspired by JtC's Talking Heads-inspired Rant. Scrawl Something!

What I am talking about is rolling back those free trade agreements.

The day this site becomes a unilateral echo chamber for any political faction is the day this site gets closed down. Period.

Amnesty International: U.S. committed war crimes in Raqqa
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 06/05/2018 - 1:44pmIt's become a pattern. Wherever our enemies have dug into an urban area, we've bombed that city to rubble regardless of the people living there.

Sorry, was running a bit late this morning. Had to drop the kids off at their school due to missing the first streetcar, and it was a good run. So, excuse the sweat, and I appreciate you sticking around instead of sticking to American Custom on classes.
