It is not a good feeling when the only option for expressing your beliefs in an election is not to vote. But it's the only way to send a message to the Democratic Party that Mary Landrieu ignored me, someone who voted for her and would have happily campaigned for her if she had gone left instead of right after the Nov elections, while pandering to people who despise her and would never vote for her in a million years. Not voting is the only protest vote I can make. I can only hope that even more voter apathy in this run-off will help convince Democrats nationwide to stand up for progressive values if they want their base to turn up.
Landrieu's antics on Keystone deserve a new label. Blue Dog isn't strong enough. Maybe Blue Snake? There's no way I'm holding my nose and voting on this one..... Would need an Ebola-proof mask to keep that poison out.
