I've been out protesting, there's been weekly ones here that I attend.
A lot of these people that were disenfranchised by the Democrats ended up voting for Cornel West or Jill Stein instead. I already know what people are going to say, something something wasted vote, but I'm really sick of that entire argument because all it does is delegitimize third parties and keeps this status quo of "lesser evil".
If this entire notion that you have to vote for one or two parties is going to keep going on as it is, then I'll gladly point to the senate election in Nebraska where an independent aligned with the Forward and Reform parties only lost to the Republican by about 6%. Do I agree with Osborn or the Forward or Reform parties, not fully, especially with how interesting a candidate Osborn was, but the fact that he gave such competition in a traditionally safe Republican riding shows that voting for other candidates is NOT wasting your vote.
