Politics in the United States has become a real mess. Those in power take advantage of the chance to be full-on fascists. Congresspeople of their party aren’t willing to stand up to them. And most of those in the other party do little except write strongly-worded statements about it. It feels like the voters are truly getting the proverbial fuzzy end of the lollipop.
Elections aren’t doing jack squat for folks in the country. So many of the members of the Democratic Party showing that they’re Republican Lite just makes it worse. It’s no wonder that there’s a movement afoot to ignore political parties and vote for candidates that show that they’re willing to work for We The People, not the big money campaign donors, and definitely not the oligarchs.
That movement, and comments from Early American historian Joanne B. Freeman, have inspired me to create a new design. It’s a great way to show that you will vote for We The People, not people in a particular political party, and I created versions that will work on light or dark backgrounds.
And if you have a car or truck with a bumper, have we got a sticker for you.
It’s not just about being Progressive
I know that there are some great progressives in Congress, but let’s not make being progressive the litmus test for who we vote for. Instead, let’s look at where their money is coming from. If you support the civilians in Palestine, you can use TrackAIPAC.com to see if a candidate is taking money from people who don’t recognize the right of Palestinian civilians to exist.
Also, look at how long someone has been in Congress. If they’ve been in Congress since before the aircraft flew into the World Trade Center, it may be time to let them go write their books and play with their grandkids. Thank them for their service, but let some younger folks with fresh perspectives represent you.
Whose country? Our country.
Our elections have been rigged, and they have been rigged for decades. So let’s get together and vote for folks that won’t take donations from any big money PACs or donors. Let’s tell the pols it’s time to represent the folks who are just trying to make a better life for their families than they had.
