In America’s political climate, there is but one honorable course of action: Dissent. But how one dissents is important. It is necessary to send the proper message, to build the correct movement for revolutionary social change here and abroad. The only ticket qualified to do that is the Socialist Equality Party. I urge all voters to support Jerry White for President and Phyllis Scherrer for Vice President, including writing in where necessary.

Election 2012

Jerry White on Reddit Tuesday

S0cialist Equality Party candidate Jerry White will be taking question on Reddit. I urge people who vote to vote for White and you should ask questions in this forum whether you plan to vote for him or not.

American Liberals: What Is Your Deal Breaker?

If the discussion on my wall is any indication, the author is right. American liberals have no deal breaker. They will vote for the Democratic Party, acting as active accomplices in the nation’s rightward drift and willing apologists for the worst excesses of the American state, provided that the Republicans are able to find someone subjectively “worse.” Considering the mountains of evidence that Obama is worse than Bush using quantifiable, objective metrics, I’m still confused as to what arguments are being made that Republicans are “worse” other than a liberal distaste for the cultural signals sent.

Netanyahu’s War Ultimatum at the UN

Everyone is laughing at Netanyahu’s bomb diagram, but last week’s United Nations speeches from him and Obama are truly terrifying. I’ve been saying basically since January 2009 that Obama was gearing up for war with Iran. The signals last week couldn’t be any clearer. And, once again, if you vote for his re-election this is what you are voting for.
