Recently I wrote about how I would be voting for Jill Stein in 2016. I want you all to know that you can join me. We don’t have to give up on the revolution! We just have to move it over to the only other candidate that shares the values we fell in love […]
You’re not crazy. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are nearly the same in ideology. Lots of people will try to convince you that this isn’t true, but it is. They both fall in the blue square (above), which is where right-wing authoritarians are. This is also the same square that Adolph Hitler fell in. […]
I wanted the US to nominate Bernie Sanders as the Democratic candidate for President. I went through all the trouble of getting an overseas ballot so that I could vote for him. And you know what? I really thought he would win. So many of us believed in him. However, the establishment is strong. […]
I am so tired of people spewing propaganda at me. “An Independent could never win an election.” “A third party candidate could never win the election.” “You have to pick the lesser of two evils; that’s just how it is.” “You can’t change it, you just have to live with it.” “This is […]
Now that the media has decided to consider Hillary Clinton the Democratic Nominee, everyone keeps pushing me to “fall in line.” I won’t, I’m afraid. First: I changed my registration to Democrat only so I could vote for Bernie Sanders in the primaries. I have always been an Independent, and I have already sent […]
I went to school with a girl who has duel citizenship in the US and Pakistan. She went back after college to run a school for the poor in Rawalpindi. I like her a lot, and I don’t envy her choices this election. Of course she is hoping that Bernie Sanders will get the […]
Memorial Day weekend is always really sad for me because my adopted brother died in Iraq. I just want to remind you all of this most serious of holidays: Bernie Sanders is literally the only guy standing up for the rights of Veterans. He’s the only guy. We really ought to support our […]
I didn’t like Hillary Clinton in 2008, and I voted for Obama instead. He betrayed me by bombing seven countries in six years and being a really lousy liberal. Now Hillary Clinton is back. I still don’t like her. But I would have voted for her in November anyway, because Donald Trump is an idiot. […]
So Bernie Sanders is preparing for a contested convention and Hillary Clinton is urging him to drop out. A lot of my friends are Sanders supporters and they are all disappointed that he hasn’t “won” a lot of states (It was often close enough that they got the same number of delegates.) First, I want […]
A lot of people get caught up in the now. That’s fair. Now is where we live. But sometimes it is also important for us to look to the future. I don’t know if you have kids or not, but I have a son and a granddaughter. I want very much for them to grow […]
