A Gallup poll in September 2023
found that 63% of US voters agree that the Democratic and
Republican parties do such a poor job representing the people that a
new major party is needed - and that was even before they
joined forces to support the genocidal war on Gaza.
Yet despite their unpopularity, the
parties of war and Wall Street maintain an almost total stranglehold
on our government, a concentration of power and control that’s unheard
of among modern democracies. The two-party system maintains its
control by relentlessly berating people to vote for the “lesser of two
evils” out of fear, and by attacking anyone outside those two evils as
a “spoiler”.
As Jill points out,
the “spoiler” charge is not just an attack on
democracy, it’s a mode of control to get voters like you to give up
your power and hand it over
to the political establishment for nothing in return. It’s also a form
of voter suppression to intimidate people into not voting for what
they want - or even not voting at all.
“Lesser of two evils”
voting creates a race to the bottom where both parties keep
getting worse, while the elites keep insisting that things can’t be
any better. But with skyrocketing inequality, climate crisis and the
growing threat of global nuclear war, we can’t waste any more time
hoping that the two-party system that got us into this mess is somehow
going to fix it.
What makes the “spoiler” charge even more ridiculous is
that if the ruling parties were really concerned about “splitting the
vote”, there’s a simple solution called Ranked-Choice
Voting that has already
passed in over 50 communities around the country and several states.
But instead of asking why the people in power won’t pass a simple
solution to solve an issue they complain endlessly about, too often
the media repeats the establishment’s attacks on candidates and voters
who step outside the two-party trap.
Here’s the good news: the number of US voters who are sick and tired of the two-party
system has never been higher. We have an unprecedented opportunity to
overcome the “spoiler” propaganda and build an unstoppable movement
for real democracy.
But Jill can’t do it alone. We need your help to share Jill’s message on
social media, in letters to the editor, and in conversations with your
family, friends, and neighbors.
Please take a moment to
share this critically important message from Jill on Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and by forwarding this email to
your networks.
Courage is
contagious. Jill has the courage to stand up and run for
president in the face of relentless attacks from the most powerful
ruling class in the world.
Now it’s up to us to follow Jill’s
lead and spread the word that we can
have a real democracy,
if only we stop settling for “lesser evil” and fight for the greater
good.
In solidarity and gratitude,
