Of course there are alternatives. Even the election results last night disproved the prevailing nonsense about "Blue State vs. Red State" and the idea that the left should pander to evangelical voters.
Is anybody going to talk now about making alliances with evangelicals? No.
I am an anarchist. As such, I oppose the American system and see the Democrats as being the same as the Republicans. Even the election night pundits last night were talking about this similarity. Something about "Blue Dog Democrats."
I'm sorry, but I just don't go to bed with people who repulse me.
