Since I was twenty-one in 1889, I have in theory followed the voting plan strongly advocated by Sidney Lens in The Nation of August 4, i.e., voting for a third party even when its chances were hopeless, if the main parties were unsatisfactory; or, in absence of a third choice, voting for the lesser of two evils

Well that's a depressing read. The American rot runs deep. It's frankly disturbing how accurate that article still is.

The writer drops some great lines though.

Thanks.
