after watching the series of debates, I'm a bit upset. This election isn't giving me much real choice, I'm just having the choice to vote for the lesser of the two evils. two rich white men, robots in suits, hardline party followers that don't really have what it takes for change.
yes, you can go on and say, well vote for Nader, vote for someone else, well we could do that. this two party system is shitty, and we have to quit saying "wait next year" for an independent vote. we really need more voices that represent the multi-faceted weave of this country. the democrats aren't much better than the republicans. they just use a less conservative lean on things, not really caring about all people. remember, democrats, republicans ALL have something to gain and lose in this election. partisan politics, mixed with career-longevity seeking politicians, and the constant reach around relationship with corporations will never get the job done.
those who will suffer the most, women, disabled, poor, homosexual, people of color will get stuck with the bill and the huge burden of trying to convince others that they are worthy of the cause. its like a guy in a fight, you take away the only weapon he may have, and then stick him back without any weapon
but, right now the most effective way to change things is to get bush out and kerry in. liberals, people of color, new deal democrats, limousine-liberals and the like really need to see BEYOND Kerry. This man is not the solution, just a start. Once we get him in there, I'm gonna be fighting as hard to get his ass out of office, get someone with a plan for an America I can be proud of..
anyways....
i love the weather of late, but, I really miss the seasons, esp back in good ol missouri.
