Vote for the Democrats and then Participate in your Government

Yes, my advice for voting tomorrow is as simple as that.

I guess I can explain this by saying that tomorrow may be the most important election in the life of our quasi-representative government. It may also be the last true election in your life.

OK, you say: All the liberal, nay-sayers spout this stuff but this is a great country, the best country on the face of the earth and it has been going on quite well for some time, you little prick!

Well yes, we’ve been going on for some time, that I’ll give you. But read your real history; we have quite an extensive trail of stupidity, cruelty, bigotry, and genocide. We have represented the dark side of humanity many, many times. And still do.

This election, as we descend as a country into second-world status (and read some real history here, also), stands as an a vital one.

Votes which bring Republicans and tea-baggers into majority rule in Congress may, without much of a thought-stretch, bring us past the tipping point of maintaining a government dedicated for the common good. (“promote the general Welfare”, yes, tea-baggers, that is in the U.S. Constitution!)

Let’s face it folks: Republicans and tea-baggers do not want to advance the common good. The first group, where the real power lies, really doesn’t give a shit about anything except their capitalistic greed. The second group, the teas-baggers, well, scratch them and you’ll find a hatred of the “nigger” who occupies the White House trumps all reason.

In no way are you going to get Utopia when you vote Democrats tomorrow. You are however buying time.

Time to get out there and take a part in your representative government so it will be better. It is going to be a long uphill battle and you must participate in it. Current history has shown us that you can’t just vote then grab the TV remote and vegetate until the next election. It may be a losing battle but it may be the final chance to define what really makes our species special.
