Yes, he has said “a ton of times” that he rarely votes (conclusion?). Exceptions? Yes, when one of the candidates is so odious that he puts on his “anybody but” shoes and moseys down to the polling booth (absentee ballot?) and votes for the “good cop.” Occasionally he votes for the Republican (trajectory?) Voting for third party, etc is okay as long as it doesn’t result in the “bad cop” getting elected. In short, he usually acquiesces to business as usual, occasionally voting in support of a kinder, gentler business as usual. Now, if you vote for the “good cop” because he is slightly better than the “bad cop” then the people behind “the cops” will have the “bad cop” continually drifting to the right, dragging the “good cop” with him, confident that the “good cop” will always have your support because he never is quite as bad as the “bad cop.” This is exactly what has happened and why there has been a shift to the right.

Hey, I respect and admire Noam Chomsky. I think “Year 501: The Conquest Continues” should be required reading. But remember, Noam is a researcher not a guru. We need to take the information that Noam and others provide and reach our own conclusions. Regarding Noam’s position on voting, I beg to differ.
