Election reform

“Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for the West as it commits suicide.”
— James Burnham

But,

“American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward to perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It tends to risk nothing serious for the sake of truth.”
— R. L. Dabney

We need serious reform in our political system. The quality of people running for office in recent years—from both major and darned near all minor political parties—is… appalling for the most part. Oh, sure there may be some examples of decent people running for office, but as soon as they’re in office, they spend way too much time associating with scum (see our current crop of congresscritters).

Remember the next time you’re in a voting booth: voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. If possible, write in a vote for “None of the above” in cases like that, cos that’s who we need in office—of those running—in most cases:

“None of the above.”
