Pulling A Cartman: Ideology Versus Identity

By Kleinheider Posted on June 4, 2008 at 10:57 am

Katherine Coble doesn’t blame feminist Clinton supporter Egalia over her decision to leave the Democratic party because she has done the same thing on the other side of the aisle:

My vote means increasingly little as the country grows larger and the candidates grow closer together. Both major parties are continuing to field centrists in a wild hope of gaining undecideds. As little currency as my one lone vote actually holds, I absolutely refuse to spend it on something that looks like support for something I cannot tolerate. I feel like my continued votes for the status quo say “yes! keep feeding me crap and I will eat it just because it’s there.”

So it is with head hung down and plowing through the mire that I face the facts. I am Egalia. I left my party, too.
