Why I'm Voting For Jill Stein
Submitted by movie buff on Mon, 10/03/2016 - 6:41pmAn essay was published here a few days ago titled "Why I am Voting For Hillary." While I respect the author for posting it here--"behind enemy lines," so to speak--I still felt that his reasoning was just the latest update of the same reasoning we hear every four years, which goes: You have to vote for the Democratic nominee because the Republicans are awful.
I concur: they are awful. And they'll likely always be awful. Yet some people are always trying to use this inescapable part of American political reality to justify all manner of backsliding by the other political party--you know, the one that claims to represent "the people."
So I would like to write a rebuttal here. Not of that article, but of that entire manner of thinking.
