Wrong, Sam Husseini, on Vote Pact

First, does anybody besides Husseini write anything for VotePact, which is based on a voter version of old Congressional "twinning" or "pairing" on important votes when one member was absent, and so, a member of the other side would absent themselves.

Seriously. 

There's 10 articles on its homepage, and he wrote all of them.

So, we're going to assume this is some pet project of his.

And, it's wrong.

First, there are other third parties of both left and right besides Greens and Libertarians. (This sets aside that many Greens aren't really "left." This doesn't set aside that Libertarians, contra their protests, ARE "right.")

I mean, as I've said more than once on both here and Substack? I voted for the Commie. 

Second, contra this piece by Husseini? No, the two parties don't have that much in common.

His bullet point five, that Libertarians as well as Greens are "anti corporate rule"? Really? Where did that come from? Ditto on six, "Main Street over Wall Street."

And, on all environmental issues, Libertarians believe that "moar capitalism" is the solution for the climate crisis, pollution, etc. Libertarians oppose regulation in general.

And, beyond that, the LP platform says NOTHING, really, about business in general.

I'm shaking my head so hard I'm at risk of spraining my neck.

And, if he's got teh stupidz on this, I further withdraw my cutting him any slack on COVID and WIV.

Third, this is to misunderstand the tribalism into which duopoly politics has descended. Most of the more rabid duopoly voters are not pairing off their presidential votes. Just ain't happening.
