Not How Democracy Works

Sorry, or no, I'm not sorry. The Dallas Morning News had a story about a decade ago about a number of 1960s activists who stopped voting. (Unfortunately, they didn't vote Green, I guess.) Why? They got tired of Dems moving the Overton Window ever rightward.

Not voting, if done for principled reasons, is a principled choice.

ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. And neither will racist,homophobic, or misogynistic comments. I do not mind if you disagree, but make your case in a decent manner.

Comment Policy

I invite anyone who wishes to comment on this blog to do so. I enjoy the comments, whether you agree with what I have said or not. But some people want to abuse the right to comment, and since this is my blog, I have decided to lay down the following rules. If your comment violates these rules, it will not be published.

1. Comments must not be racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted.

2. Comments must not involve little more than name-calling and insulting remarks.

3. Comments must not be made by "anonymous" or "unknown".

4. Comments must not try to sneak in some free advertising for themselves (like spam).
