Of course, that line of reasoning(?) is brought to you by one who is increasingly convinced that a single payer system or medicare for all arrangement is what we need for our health care system. "Consistency is the hob goblin of small minds!" We have a number of major institutions in our republic that are not serving us real citizens nearly as well as they are serving those corporate legal persons who, if they are to enjoy the expanded legal status they currently have, should also be subject to the death penalty, in our opinion.
When we were much younger, a common saying was that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. That seems particularly true in a democracy. We were less than thrilled with our options in 2016, but we held our nose and voted. (See picture above). We're planning on voting next Tuesday and again in the general election come November. To drag out, and modify, another old bromide, we're not about to ever join 'em, so we'll just keep trying to find a way to lick 'em.
Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket
I am unjust, but I can strive for justice.My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness.I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.Man is a curious brute—he pets his fancies—Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury.So he will be, though law be clear as crystal,Tho’ all men plan to live in harmony.Come, let us vote against our human nature,Crying to God in all the polling placesTo heal our everlasting sinfulnessAnd make us sages with transfigured faces.
