The first Green Party convention I sang at was over two decades ago. The last one was a few weeks ago. I'm a fan of all the presidential candidates they've had that I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Voting is the PRIMARY way to effect our republic. It has little to no effect because too many people don't take it seriously. It's a bother to be informed or involved and it appears to have little to no impact on government policy. We live in a republic not a democracy. In a republic you give your right to make public policy to a representative that is elected by the people. These elected officials have their own agenda so they must be reminded constantly by public protest or citizen activity of their responsibility to the people. If we don't vote there is little reason for protest. Oregon makes it easy to be informed and vote. I wish other states were as easy.
I was recently sent an article which included Stein's investments which scared me off of voting for her.
There was also a photo of her having dinner with Putin & some other bigwigs. Too scary for me. I have often voted Green, but I will vote for Kamala. I am not happy with that. The person who sent me this info about Stein was someone I have known for 50 years & I trust her research.
Not to cast aspersions, but it is a fact that many of the times a gig gets canceled it's because the venue owner or someone tells me they heard from "a trusted friend" that I'm a Nazi. Every one of those "trusted friends" are wrong. I'm sure yours might be different. I've never heard about Jill having investments. She's not rich. She has met Putin , and she apparently was trying to convince him of something I'm sure we'd both support.
I just got my SteinWare t-shirt!
Contrary to the duopoly pressure, I proclaim: "this vote is mine; I'm with Stein"
