Remember when baby Bush was the worst thing that happened to us? Well, I stand before you, a 2000 (I think?) FL Nader voter. I lost friends over that. I was young and passionate about the goals of the Green Party and the importance of breaking the two party system. I was naive and brave. I can say, the friends I lost never really knew me or they wouldn't have been surprised. In today's political climate, with so much on the line, even if AOC herself was running as an independent, I think I'd shed a tear for that passionate young girl, swallow my bile, and vote for the pro-genocide, octogenarian with the better shot at beating He Who Wants to End Democracy.
