When we are asked to support/vote for "the lesser of two evils", we are no longer living in a democracy, we are living in a pathocracy, a system ruled by psychopaths whose evil (murder, genocide, economic and environmental collapse) and power is limitless. Please watch the video.
The list I created of Important dates in history for lesser-of-two-evils voters was meant largely as an effort to name the lesser evil as an evil consequence of lesser-of-two-evils voting.

This election cycle offers an unparalleled opportunity for the movement to organize and cast off the yoke of the corporate duopoly that controls our election space. The behind-the-scenes nefarious actions that the parties use to control the elections have been more obvious than usual and have been brought to the public's attention repeatedly.

I consider it my civic duty as an American Citizen, and in my day job as a middle-school U.S. History teacher I encourage my students every year to go vote when they reach voting age.
This is a bit of a sequel to my first essay. I'm just trying to probe the overall mood around here, whilst still trying to get into my stride. This was a bit of a pain in the ass to write since I couldn't seem to get it quite right.
Edit: I accidentally published this before I was finished. Sorry for any inconvenience I'm might've caused.
This is my first essay on here. I'm just trying to get into my writing stride on here. Also, need to familiarize myself with the blogging features.
I’ve been on Team Gandalf ever since he first visited the Shire. It was so nice to see a wizard who was truly a wizard of the people. The kind of wizard who wouldn’t even throw you in a dungeon for smoking a little Longbottom Leaf or Old Toby. Here was a wizard who didn’t have a big fancy tower. His staff and cloak were rather plain and grey. And he had quite a dream, didn’t he?
