ON LEV: THE CHILDEST STORY TALE OF LESSER EVIL VOTE



ON LEV: THE CHILDEST STORY TALE OF LESSER EVIL VOTE

Read this & My comments at the end



On LEV or “less than evil voting.” David McDonald has written, “Lesser Evil Politics: Really, Noam? Hubert Humphrey?”  In the piece he writes, “Back in ’68, Chomsky says, ‘the ultra-left faction of the peace movement’ caused the election of Richard Nixon by ‘minimizing the comparative danger’ of a Nixon presidency, thereby making the huge strategic mistake of foisting Nixon on the world, prolonging the Vietnam War by ‘six years’ and causing senseless deaths and untold suffering because we voted our hearts, not our minds.”

When I asked Chomsky about this article Chomsky asserted, the “ultraleft” itself was too small to swing the vote, but they were referring to the far greater group who accepted McDonald’s position, who very likely did swing the vote.

Andrew Smolski also, on Chomsky’s voting position, in his, “To My Less-Evilism Haters: A Rejoinder to Halle and Chomsky,” states that, “Worse yet, Halle and Chomsky are decidedly wrong in their assessment, hiding behind their religious belief that the utilitarian logic they employ is obvious and a priori correct. They willfully ignore that the logic of lesser evil voting (LEV) is a causal mechanism pushing the political structure to the right. They cannot fathom that their strategy is part of the rightward drift, even while they admit that that rightward trend exists, which is why, in Chomsky’s words, Democrats are now “Moderate Republicans”.

MY COMMENTS

THE FACT IS that :

1-Hillary is not a moderate republican.. this war monger is worse than “neocons” of the republican party .. she can use them as used Victoria Nulan for the purpose of serving the big corp behind the military industrial complex .. such big corporations and the Saudis gave her huge amount of money to put forward the old imperial PNAC designed before the end of the last century.

2-Any NATO war can be used by Hillary to suck money for personal gains (Case in point Libya) and at the same time serving the big Corp that profit from wars. Both aims go hand on hand in her real political practice. NATO already have plans to attack Russia, China & Iran, and Hillary will support it as she did it with Irak

3-The US business of wars and Hillary's for profit affairs in handling them as State Secretary  explain the failure of the FBI & the Supreme Court to indict her (mail breaches to Law). Their double standards to use the LAW explain the current situation on the mail-gate: fiasco & impunity . It is revealed so far that those authorities has not power to go over big Corp.

4- The power resides in the bottom, in people’ organized efforts for rebellion.  Elections is the time to forge and unite this power to create a peaceful transition to Pol & Econ change. That is why we supported Sanders, he betrayed to our Nation and the Nation will trash him in their history records.

5- The LEV is a childish excuse to cover up Sanders’ betrayal. If he really intend to run as VP with Hillary .. he won’t have power to put forward his previous agenda.. He will be one more servant of the billionaire’s regime.  That will confirm their hidden rightist approach..

6- In the event of Sanders’ running as VP  -knowing Hillary dishonesty .. I doubt of it- if happens Hillary will use Sanders’ appeal on voters to get the majority of Senate and depower the GOP .. just to implement their similar agenda. In such a case, the appeal of Jill to continue fighting for the demands promised by Sanders .. will be also depowered.  And depowered also the MOv Black Lives Mattter (BLM) and Afro-American will be more brutalized than today. This scenery is forcing the BLM and all the socialist of the Nation to immediately create the American Socialist Party to coordinate workers resistance to the rule of billionaires. The vote for Jill Stein remains in place as practical answer to LEV -lesser evil vote- & as evidence of  strong commitment to democracy in America  & the need  for a 3rd choice .. it is time for a 3rd party. We should admit that Sanders betrayal as VP .. will force many  people to vote ABSTENTION. Recent exploration of this trend said  1/2 will abstain, ¼ to Hillary & ¼ to 3rd parties.  

7- It is up to Dr Jill Stein  to call for ORGANIZED RESISTANCE to billionaires rule with grass roots org across the Nation in alliance with all socialists & BLM org. This will be a call for a UNITED SINGLE PARTY of democratic socialists and rebels of America to coordinate actions during & after election. The purpose is to response to the attacks of the new Govt to  the Nation’s rights & demands , now & beyond elections. During election the focus will be on swing states with special efforts in Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and the few other states up for grabs. If we launch a single candidate at local level, we should request 1st : day-registration to vote (not the affiliation to duopoly parties) and equal access to media debates. We should all support one single leftist  or socialist candidate.  If Dr Jill Stain can run to the Presidency & State Senate at the same time, we should all support her. But if we do not get such unity at local & State level, we should ABANDON the electoral race in that State. We should focus instead in creating a team to organize referendums post-elections. There is not point in adorning and legitimizing a rigged electoral system, already set for fraud in Nov 4. The main purpose should be to de-legitimate the regime emerging from this farce of democracy every time they attack the working classes and any sector of the oppressed people.
