In addition to primaries for national elections here in NeverNeverland, many of which have pitted pro- and anti-Trump Republicans against each other on one side and progressive versus neoliberal establishment Democrats on the other, several local and state elections have put Democrat against Republican. In a special election for the House of Representatives seat in the 12th District of Ohio, the Democratic challengers narrow lost, by a few hundred votes, to the Republican incumbent.
Quite predictably, Democratic celebrities, outlets, active
rank-and-file of the party, and supporters almost immediately began
caterwauling about the evil Green Party whose candidate in that race polled
about the same number of votes as the difference between the two candidates of
the major parties. That and Russian
meddling, with zero evidence of the latter.
To these, I say, “Listen, you fucking cunts: our votes do
not belong to you. They are not yours by
right; do something to fucking earn them.
Grow the hell up and engage in a little self-criticism, because you
sound like a bunch of whiny crybabies.
Like the snowflakes that POTUS and his right-wing pundit friends accuse
you of being. Stop putting forth
candidates who run after the votes of moderate Republican and former Kasich
voters.
We the people are done with your
mewling centrist neoliberal bullshit.
Give us candidates who will support the needs of the many instead of the
greed of the few, or we will find someone who will. Before we have to suffer through the four
more years that you staying your course brings; neither we nor the rest of the
world can afford it.
