[Trotskilicious]

seriously guy

you read this whole thread and that's what you came out of it with

[redbreegull]

exactly @ eulogy, I don't get how not voting is somehow supposed to stop shit like this or the war on drugs. most americans won't vote for someone with those kinds of platforms because they have been filled with fear by those with stake in the continuation of such policies... but it's still better to vote for the guy who is correct about some issues

[Trotskilicious]

if you're in one of ten or so states that actually matter, at least.

Democracy!

But this is just it. What does anyone gain by voting for Romney or Obama? I cannot remember an election in my lifetime where two candidates were so similar. If there was any election to either not vote of vote for someone else, this is it.

he said jczeroman was not privileged? where? oh i get it you're just being a contrarian cock without putting enough forethought into your effort for something sensible to come out

[redbreegull]

this is kind of fucking my mind, Obama and Romney believe opposite things about women's sovereignty over their own bodies, how is that not a monumental fucking difference?

how do you rationalize that away as herp derp same candidate

Is banning abortion on Romney's platform? I'm pretty sure he will not pursue any policy on abortion of substantial difference to Obama. Even if he's going to do some incremental thing which can be overturned under the next Democratic president, it seems silly to throw away an opportunity for ten or twenty percent of the hard-core left to show what's most important to them by voting Green, Nader or Johnson.

I certainly do. Goodness knows that, gun to my head, I would rather keep Romney out of the white house. Ron Paul 2008 promoted an ideological shift in no small portion of republicans, a shift which even led to election results at the Senate level for the far-right. The same will happen if even 10% of democrats stay home or vote for someone else.

And the fact that McCain and Obama were similar also doesn't really invalidate my overall point.

romney doesn't have a platform like mccain didn't, they stay on script according to what the RNC decides.
