I voted ... Beyond my conscious ... I voted my soul as for over a year I have witnessed evil and greed choose dehumanizing ideological hatred over LIFE ... Ignorance over LOVE. I voted for everyone ever outcast, stigmatized, demonized, othered, murdered, massacred, ethnocided, genocided ... I voted for people and the planet, not the billionaires, not the bullets, bombs, or bulldozers. I voted for everyone who has understanding, empathy, love, and respect for anyone and everyone else who lives differently than themselves from religion to identity. 

For the first time in decades I left the political fallacy of the US duopoly, the illusion of choice provided by our morally broken political system. A system captured by corporate and politically conservative money that hold racialized myopic ethnonationalist, classist, and gendered views.

I left the illusion of democracy as in selling the idea of power to the people, when it is half truths... I am not being apathetic, but critical to the notion that to vote for either major party is no act of power at all. That is the fear vote, that is a comfort vote, an all too familiar vote between the lesser of two evils. We should all underscore the term EVIL here! 

Evil abounds... 

As we are on the eve of nothingness, where most Americans lack the backbone for change, by NOT voting for anything other than a Republican or Democrat, as both evils lead us down violent paths. Internal and external violence ... This travesty of potential outcomes lacks creativity and imagination; to imagination a new way of being. When the fact is, we can reject it all and vote for a society cooperating in abundance and affirmations. Yet here we sit, every channel, peddling the illusion of choice ... And we haven't even touched upon $ in politics. 

As an artist I vote for LOVE, PEACE, JUSTICE ... There is no room for evil in that.
