Even though they, themselves, plan to vote for a third party because they don't live in swing states, Ellsberg et al are arguing for preservation of the status quo . It is a politics of the past.
We have to develop a new politics. It is time to lay the groundwork for a way out of the head lock that the wealthy class has on our system and to challenge the permanent war mentality of the military/industrial establishment.
In addition to building the Green Party and its Green New Deal during the next four years, it would mean a big boost in the form of a twenty million dollar check from the feds when the 2016 election rolls around if the Party could get 5% of the November popular vote. Ellsberg would deny that possibility by removing five swing states, three of them with sizeable populations, from Green turf.
Why is Ellsberg voting for Stein? He doesn't tell us except to say that he is enraged by Obama's actions. Is he doing it so that he can have a clear conscience while asking others to have a vote for war on theirs?
