“American presidential elections are not set up to favor third parties. The first-past-the-post voting methods, in which the winner of the state gets all its electoral votes, make it hard for third parties to get a foothold. (In political science, this is a concept known as Duverger’s Law.)”- New York Times
In the current election, you must consider three things:
1. Hillary Clinton (regardless of how she obtained it) is now the Democratic nominee;
2. Current polls show Stein will garner very few votes (2%); and
3. A write in for Sanders is no match for Trump’s redneck base.
Just look at the polls:
Clinton 43%
Trump 39%
Johnson 9%
Stein 2%
I was a die-hard Sanders supporter because of his progressive domestic views/policies but It is only logical for beleaguered Sanders and Stein supporters to think long and hard before voting. It is a sad truth, but according to the polls, a write in vote for Sanders or a vote for Stein (or simply not voting at all) is essentially a vote for Trump, but if you’re happy with a Trump presidency, march on my disillusioned friends.

Here’s to another day on this magnificent orb. The orchestral processes of maintaining orbit are as complex as the twisted ‘ladder like’ conglomeration of molecules representing the literal fiber of our being. Whirling around at over 1,000 miles per hour as the Earth makes its yearly trip around the Sun, while in the past 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds the Earth made a complete turn on its axis. Hello moon. Hello Sun.
The more I delve into the details of scientific theory, the more I am enamored with the world around me. Understanding complex biological processes and the puzzling aspects of time and space are key to understanding the meaning of life.
Whether one argues the universe came to be via an omniscient celestial being or rather by a complex nuclear reaction, one must conclude after serious contemplation that the science behind it all is utterly breathtaking.
Take it all in.
Life is short.
The average human has approximately 100 trillion cells and each cell is made of approximately 100 trillion atoms, each of which were originally created in the center of a star. The atoms that are in your hands have been created in a different star than the atoms in your feet, so by definition, we are galactic beings because the very structures that make up our bodies come from all over the galaxy.
Also known as Black Friday- a day of corporate greed fed by hedonistic consumerism where (after battling countless others) the victor purchases certain items with a reasonable markup; also known as the day after Thanksgiving- a day where we nationally celebrate the mass murder and genocide of the native Americans.
