After Schmuck Talk Express™ picked a Schmuckette like Sarah Palin today, one who is hugely antienvironmental and someone who has left herself barn-door wide open to parody and snark while having serious ethical issues that could well bite her in the butt ust before November, AND, who is potentially Tom Eagleton, not “just” Dan Quayle, do NOT tell me a Green vote is a wasted vote.
Barack Obama has just had this election handed him on a platter for the fourth or fifth time. If he blows it, he deserves to lose even more than John Kerry did in 2004.
That said, for a real progressive, the only wasted vote is a Democratic vote. More on that tomorrow. Meanwhile, five bucks says the Palin pick leads Obama to tack both right and left in Clintonian fashion.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
