In less than two months, there will be a presidential election. As of this writing, we are not collectively supporting any candidate in the race. If we continue to employ this dysfunctional strategy, we will have wasted an opportunity to impact this election in a measurable and meaningful way.
The winner of the election will be ceremoniously pandered to for awhile, but then the media will turn its attention to the loser. The losing party will attempt to defend itself by saying that votes were either, not counted, or siphoned off by a "spoiler". This presents an opportunity for our movement to at least become a statistical factor that cannot be ignored.
Ron Paul was repeatedly mocked, ridiculed, censored, and slandered. This movement has gone from being characterized as a handful of spammers to an army of conspiracy theorists. Let's show them that we're actually a couple million fed up voters by speaking with one voice at the polls.
Not voting will not count. Writing in Ron Paul will not count. Joining forces behind a single third party candidate might actually count for something if enough of us do it.
