I thought this business about “Wisconsin Republicans denying beans to the poor” was a partisan distortion, but apparently not. I haven’t voted for a major-party candidate in twenty-three years, and that’s not likely to change in the near future. Given Republican attitudes towards the poor and black people, and Democratic attitudes towards the unborn and (more recently) towards Christians, and the military adventurism and erosion of civil liberties enthusiastically endorsed by both parties, I can’t possibly vote for any of them. It’s way past time for an alternative to emerge.
