Perhaps some folks do pout and vote against their own best interests. So, they get what they get.
I will vote for Jill Stein because I find that even the more gentle hand of the Master is still the hand of the Master. Should I get all happy over a few crumbs from his table when he continues to promote the wars that are turning the world against America, and turning America into a Third World nation?
Should we become like the old plantation house Slaves, sucking up to Massa because to do otherwise would put us in the field with our brothers and sisters, to suffer?
Can't we learn from the brave men and women who took their lives in their hands when they dared to stand up to the sweat shop bosses and declared themselves a Union? That boss never cared about them as individuals, but he had to deal with them when they confronted him as a united force. .
As long as we scurry about, trying to seek a few favors from the Empire, we will be doomed. Our only hope is to build a new united force. If not through the Green Party, then what about a Labor Party? Or a People First Party?
But playing Make Believe with the Democrats is never going to allow us to promote such a new force. Besides, it may be too late to overcome the concentrated power of our two-headed Party of the 1%.

There will be a lot of quasi democrats which will stay home and pout or even weaker vote for some third party repblican plant because they didn't get exactally 100 percent of what they wanted for the past 3.5 years. It is like the situation here in MA. For 16 straight years we had republican governors, in a mostly democratic state because when some people didn't get what they wanted they would pout and go vote republican, moving them even further away from their collective goals. And, that is what will happen here in the U.S. with the presidential election.

Well, if all the disappointed and angry Democrats and those whose high
ideals don't permit them to vote for Obama stay home, they will be assisting
Norris.

CHUCK NORRIS THREATENS '1,000 YEARS OF DARKNESS' IF OBAMA WINS
According to Hindu prophesy, the Elephant (India) will battle the Red Dragon
(China) that will plunge the world into a 1000 years of darkness.
Stephen Webster reports on Raw Story:
"A video released this weekend by action movie hero Chuck Norris claims that
America faces '1,000 years of darkness' if President Barack Obama is
reelected.
"'If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack,'
Norris warns, standing next to his wife 'We are at a tipping point and,
quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don't
change the course in which our country is headed.'
"The pair go on to explain that Obama won in 2008 because more than 30
million evangelical Christians stayed home on Election Day 'We know you love
your family and your freedom as much as Gena and I do, and it is because of
that we can no longer sit quietly or stand on the sidelines and watch our
country go the way of socialism or something much worse', Norris explains."
"Quoting President Ronald Reagan, Norris's wife Gina adds that defeating
Obama 'will preserve for our children this last best hope of man on earth,
or we will sentence them to take the first step into 1,000 years of
darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children
say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be
done.'
"Norris has been an outspoken critic of Obama's since even prior to the 2008
election. He's claimed in recent years that the Christian savior character
Jesus would have been aborted by his mother if 'Obamacare' were available
2,000 years ago, claimed that American progressives want to enshrine Islamic
moral codes into U.S. law, and accused the Obama administration of trying to
force the Boy Scouts to adopt a 'pro-gay' position.
"He also warned in 2008 that if Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential
nomination, he'd 'buy the White House.' Norris hasn't repeated that
particular criticism this election cycle."
