Well, hope y’all registered to vote, wherever you live and have made plans to take the time to vote. Remember this:
Voting is like immunizations. WE create a HIVE democracy that protects those who may not be able to vote (young people, our future voters). If you do NOT vote, that is, if you do NOT contribute to the democratic pool of those who practice a just society in the best democracy we can individually effect, then everyone becomes susceptible to disease and the contamination of the freedoms and protections that democracy provides.
We have already seen the effects of contamination and a diseased democracy. We reverse that disease by participating in a way that protects the HIVE.
Those of you who think a protest vote helps, you know, one that supports an outlier philosophy and its party, you are diminishing the strength of the HIVE and helping disease flourish! You want your minority party to be stronger and that is a noble desire. Don’t indulge your individual desires at the expense of everyone else: Independent choices have ZERO power in our two-party democracy. Instead, build your party from the ground up, strengthen from the local levels and Be Successful before you support an independent candidate at the state or national level. Participate for the benefit of the HIVE.
Lastly, anyone who is insulted by the HIVE or says “I should have individuality, express my desires, and blah, blah, blah…” yeah, that’s all BS. Even if the only choice is a vote between two evils, don’t run away from the choice and then claim you needed to express yourself.
