Don’t vote for Cory Booker today

[4dsc]

But he’s also an avatar of the wealthy elite, a camera hog, and a political cipher who has never once proposed anything to address the structural causes of the problems he claims to care so deeply about. He represents the interests of both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, two very prosperous industries full of incredibly arrogant rich men who believe that the world’s problems would be solved if arrogant rich men exactly like themselves were given free rein to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. They see, in Booker, a peer — a smart man with the right qualifications and the correct worldview. Booker and his crowd believe that the charity of the benevolent elite — people who know they are rich because of their innate skill, their brilliance, their work ethic, everything besides fundamentally inequitable distribution of resources and opportunities for economic advancement — is the only acceptable and effective means of addressing the needs of the lower orders.

We need to quit electing people like this.

1. Election was yesterday

His "star" power was too much for my candidate to overcome. And now - we have Booker vs Lonegan in a special election that SHOULD have taken place in November. It's going to be a lesser of two evils vote for me . . . But since he's a big "star" he doesn't need my help.

2. Oh, should we vote for Steve Looneygan instead?

"If you get cancer it's your problem, not mine. I have no interest in paying your medical bills."
--Steve Lonegan (July 2011)

Yeah, let's all stay home on Oct. 16 and let this sick asshole get elected because Cory Booker "isn't liberal enough." Great idea!

[Fringe]

3. Yep

And that's what happened in 2010 and look where that got us.

4. Please DON'T remind me!

When we vote, we WIN.
When we DON'T vote, we LOSE.

It's that simple.

Every election, -Every time...VOTE as if your life depends on it--because it DOES.
