dear pennsylvania

dear pennsylvania,


don't you dare vote republican. a vote for the republicans is a vote for a campaign that is driven by using and feeding hatred of race, difference, otherness. plus as a bonus if you look at the republican platform (and john mccain's scornful words) - women.


they are exploiting your fear. "he's not who you think he is" - a confused message but one that ultimately leads the target audience to the worst of their fears; the ones that the republicans have been stoking. 


so vote positive. vote for hope. for change (as cliched and co-opted and unspecific as that sounds now). thanks pennsylvania. i know you can do it!

p.s. california - vote no on prop 8. thanks!

    Nice post, mark! Thanks for the 'no on Prop 8' shout-out, too! Cross your fingers.

    Vote for hope and change - vote for Cynthia McKinney or Brian Moore! A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain - they are but two faces of a single big-business party of corporate interests and cynical political pageantry.

  • mark 30 Oct 2008 05:21 am hi radicalista! there are real differences. ones that will make real-world differences. unless there is a fundamental change in the electoral system it's gonna remain a corporate two-party system. it's a scam for sure but right now it's what exists. i'm an advocate of voting for the candidates who represent your beliefs and i wish media coverage of green, actual socialists and others was better. i write this as an avid listener of democracy now! which totally rocks. anyway, obama *will* make a positive difference to the u.s. and the world. mccain-palin will be so dangerous in comparison. good luck to us all! vote your conscience! right now for me it's obama.

    prop 8 looks like it will pass though. the people who voted yes are terrible, horrible, no-good people and history will not judge them kindly.
