As the Presidential election draws nearer I can already hear the forthcoming denunciations against those on the left who would possibly consider voting anyone but Barack Obama. Every four years people like myself are compelled to defend their actions and their convictions.
Well, this year it’s time to go on the attack. Every “liberal” who would erstwhile go on the attack will now be on the defensive. Although these liberals all tend to agree with the platforms of Nader and the Greens, they can never put their vote where their heart is. It is no longer the Greens and the Naderites who are to blame for elections issues. No it is these “liberals.” It will be on their heads should they fail to convince Obama to capitulate to the Green Party this year.
What’s that?
Imagine that Obama continues his campaign down to the wire, but at the last minute tells all his supporters the truth: That as President of the USA and as leader of the Democratic Party he is beholden to various corporate and financial interests; That it would it would be impossible for him to implement the reforms the people actually want and need, and therefore he is dropping out of the race and urges every supporter to put their full weight behind electing the Green Party candidate to the Presidency.
This is call to all those liberals who are wedded to the Democratic Party to urge your candidate, Barack Obama, to do the right thing. If Barack Obama is as true a supporter of the progressive ideas and goals that most of liberals proclaim, then demand that he do the honest act of capitulating to the Greens.
PS. By the way, I am not a member of the Green Party.
