Obama Supporters Should Vote Jill Stein (rant)

[goddamnit]

This will probably piss people off, but oh well. In 2008, I voted for Barack Obama. I was an idiot. I was a fucking retard and I am embarrassed that I voted for him. Is it because the free market compelled me to and now I support Ron Paul or Mitt Romney? Not at all. I am on the left. If you are an atheist who loves science and open-mindedness, then you ought not cling to your candidate and defend him just for the sake of being right. Look at the facts.

Look at his top donors.

Goldman Sachs donated over a million dollars. It is his second highest donor. Hmm. Why might that be? Must be because he stood firm against the banks and Dodd-Frank really put them in line for the sake of the people, right? Heh. Wake up and smell the banks that are still too big to fail.

Obama explicitly stated that he does not want to legalize marijuana. Either you are a real liberal who supports civil liberties or you are a phony liberal who wants a police state policy on marijuana. You can't have your cake and eat it at the same time. Either you are a phony liberal and partisan tribalist, or you're not.

Even right-wing Ron Paul denounced the TSA. Obama made excuses about how the TSA is under tremendous pressure.

He voted for the PATRIOT Act. He voted for the NDAA's indefinite detention.

I want single-payer health health, not some right-wing mandate that lines the pocket of insurance companies and does not solve the insane spending per capita. A micro-change does not do it for me. You can make all the excuses you want and blame the Republican congress but he didn't even bring the option of single-payer to the table.

So I ask all critical thinking fellow liberals not to cling to your position like a Christian. Be willing to concede evidence and criticisms. Unless you are actually a fan of warrantless roving wiretaps, indefinite detention, prohibition of marijuana, nano-changes in health care that maintain an absurdly high deficit, TSA searches, and a Goldman Sachs candidate, don't vote for Obama. Look into Jill Stein and protest with Occupy.

Well, that's a good start. Launch back at me if you feel I misrepresented Obama.
