Democrats want my money but do they want an honest vote?
Various Democratic groups keep emailing me asking for support and money.
But they keep ignoring the issue that I think is the most important: Honest voting.
Until the Democrats make a sustained, impassioned effort to restore honest voting and to get rid of these voting machines, I’m not gonna give more them than lukewarm support. What is the point if the vote is fixed anyway? The Democrats are so blase about this issue. I think that means that they know the machines are fixed and are fine with it. I think the only reason either party even pretends the elections matter is to get money for the politicians and for the professionals that run the campaigns. Nothing matters more in a democracy than honest voting but the Democrats don’t seem to care about it any more than the Republicans do, i.e., not at all.
Everytime a Democrat is on TV for any reason why doesn’t he/she start with a rant about these machines. Everytime a Democrat talks to a reporter about anything, why doesn’t he /she start with a rant about the voting machine companies. I know the Republicans are evil but when the Democrats ignore this issue they make me think Nader was right and that the Democrats are the same as the Republicans and that elections are just for show and to fool the public that they live in a democracy - when they don’t.
I’m getting angry just writing about this. The Democrats and Republicans convince me that our votes will never count again until the day comes when we vote in the street - carrying weapons.
