Why I'm Voting For Barack Obama On
November, Okaying Ralph Nader
Posted By Dave LindorffOctober 15, 2008
Okay, I was going to vote for Ralph Nader
this November 4.
It was an easy decision. I live in
Pennsylvania, which is now, according to all
the polls, reliably in the Obama column, with
the Democratic candidate holding an
insurmountable lead in the polls of 14 percent
over Republican John McCain—enough to overcome
even the most devious Republican vote
suppression techniques and voting machine
chicanery.
I was going to vote for Nader because I
find Obama to be a seriously flawed candidate.
He ran early on an anti-Iraq War platform,
saying not that invading Iraq was wrong
legally and morally, but that it was “the
wrong war.” Since then, he has backed away
even from saying he wanted the war ended,
opting for a 16-month withdrawal timetable
that would have the killing and dying in that
sad land going on longer than most wars this
nation has fought. He has also called for an
escalation of the war in Afghanistan, despite
clear evidence that more troops just will make
the situation there worse, and has called for
an expansion of the US military budget, to
increase the size of the Army and Marines,
which will only encourage more warmongering,
more killing and more waste of precious
resources.
Obama also sold us all out by going along
with a bill sought by President Bush granting
immunity to telecom companies that aided and
abetted the illegal and unconstitutional
spying on Americans by the National Security
Agency—spying that we now know is massive
almost beyond our imagination, even including
the monitoring of private family conversations
of American service personnel in Iraq, of
journalists, and almost certainly of Bush
administration political “enemies.” By backing
that obscene bill, Obama has made it almost
impossible for victims of this police-state
surveillance campaign to sue and find out what
the Bush/Cheney administration has been up to
all these years.
In so many ways, Obama has tacked to the
middle or even the right, while spouting
soaring but empty rhetoric about “change.”
Meanwhile, everything Ralph Nader says
makes perfect sense. He has consistently
called the Iraq and Afghanistan wars the
crimes that they are. He has consistently
called for a nationalized health care system,
which every other modern nation has long since
proven to be a more cost-effective and
health-effective way to run a medical system
than the failed free-market approach advocated
by Obama and the rest of the Establishment
political system. He has correctly denounced
the economic bailout as welfare for the rich
and for the corporate criminals who have been
sucking the life out of the US economy for
years.
And yet, I think I have to vote of Obama
this year.
The reason is partly because I know I would
vote for Obama if I lived in Ohio or Indiana,
where the race between McCain and Obama is too
close to call, and so, to vote for Nader when
it is simply safe to do so here in
Pennsylvania is really a cop-out.
But even more important, when I see the
hate-filled racists and right-wing yahoos
braying at McCain and Palin rallies, when I
hear people calling for Obama to be killed or
lynched, and when I see the rabid hate mail
circulating in email inboxes falsely labeling
him as a secret Muslim, a terrorist, a Marxist
and a black nationalist, I want to see the man
resoundingly win this election.
But it’s more than that. I also, perhaps
against all logic and experience, admit that I
expect something good of an Obama presidency.
Call me naďve, but based upon my own life
experience, I keep thinking that a guy who has
worked as a community organizer, a Harvard Law
School grad (and even law journal editor!) who
could have named his price at a Wall Street
law firm, but who chose instead to be a
political and community activist, a guy who
has relatives who live in humble surroundings
in Kenya, and who spent some of his childhood
actually living in a Third World Asian nation,
a guy whose wife and two daughters have a
heritage of slavery in their background, not
to mention a guy who has surely personally
felt the sting of being called a nigger, has
to bring something new to the White House.
Certainly no other president in the history of
the country has come to the office with such a
background. That is no small thing.
Sure Obama is no leftist candidate. But if
he were, he wouldn’t be heading for an
election victory. He wouldn’t even be the
Democratic nominee. He’d be, at best, where
Dennis Kucinich is—holding a seat in Congress
where his every progressive effort would be
stymied or mocked or blocked by the House
leadership, as was done with Kucinich's effort
to bring serious impeachment charges against
President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
The unfortunate reality is that the true
left in the US is a joke (many of its purists
even mock successful left candidates and
political figures like Kucinich, for god’s
sake!). Fractured and fractious small
groupings have little or no link to the
organized labor movement—traditionally the
bedrock of any successful left political
power. And the labor movement itself is as
weak as it has ever been and keeps growing
weaker. The left in the US, such as it is, has
even less connection with the broad mass of
the American public, thanks to years of vile
but successful propaganda linking it to
Stalin, Mao and Soviet Communism.
I have no illusions about the progressivity
of the Democratic Party. Certainly it has its
progressive elected officials who have made it
into office—people like Kucinich, Sen. Bernie
Sanders (not a Democrat, but he votes with the
Democratic caucus), Sen. Russ Feingold, Rep.
Maxine Waters and the like. But clearly, the
Democratic Party has shown itself to be in
thrall to the moneyed interests on Wall Street
and in the corporate suites.
That said, there are important things that
could happen—and I stress the word could,
not would—if this election were to be won by
Obama and by Democrats in the Congress. One of
these things is that there will be new Supreme
Court justices named over the next four years.
Some will inevitably replace some of the aging
“liberals” on the bench (some of whom have not
always been so liberal on economic issues).
Some could also replace current conservative
justices (Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence
Thomas, both obese men, don’t look terribly
healthy to me, Justice Kennedy is getting on
in years, and even Chief Justice Roberts,
while looking hale, has a problem with
epilepsy or some other ailment that has caused
him to collapse in a frothing fit of
unconscious on occasion).
Also important is legislation to make it
less of an obstacle course for workers to win
union representation and labor contracts on
the job. A major reason that unions have
shrunk from over 30 percent of the workforce
in the 1950s to just 9 percent of the private
workforce (and 13 percent of all workplaces,
public and private) today, is that labor law
has been whittled away and turned to
management’s advantage to such an extent that
it is almost impossible now to win a union
election. Employers who break labor laws
suffer no penalty even when found guilty, and
workers who are unfairly fired for union
activity can hope, at best, if they are lucky,
to win reinstatement and back pay after
fighting for years. Most just give up.
If a Democratic Congress passed new labor
legislation and a President Obama signed them
into law, as he has promised to do, and if new
pro-labor officials were appointed to the
national, regional and local labor relations
boards that adjudicate labor issues, we could
see a genuine revival of the labor movement in
America with consequences for workers’ lives,
and for the political system that would be far
reaching and profound—and that could even pave
the way for a resurgence of a left/labor
political movement.
Finally, with respect to war and
militarism, I tend not to take Obama’s
campaign-trail warmongering seriously. Given
the man’s background, I am confident that he
is not a militarist by nature. It may be
politically opportunistic for him to try
during this campaign to out-tough McCain on
Afghanistan while calling for a wind-down of
the war in Iraq, but it would be a disaster
for him to pursue a wider war in Afghanistan
after taking office, ensuring that his
presidency, like Bush’s, Lyndon Johnson’s and
Richard Nixon’s before him, would be dragged
down by an endless bloody conflict.
A President Obama will have his hands full
trying to deal with an unprecedented financial
fiasco, and will want the wars off his plate
as quickly as possible. Maybe I’m being a
Pollyanna, but I simply can’t see a smart
guy—and Obama is a smart guy—getting dragged
into another quagmire.
Besides, I have a darker vision, which is
that the crisis of global warming, so long
denied by the Bush administration, is going to
make itself felt soon in ways that will be
impossible to ignore, and which will demand a
crisis response. For example, consider the
vast reservoirs of methane locked under the
Siberian and North American permafrost and
under the Arctic Ocean that are beginning to
percolate into the air. As the ice leaves land
and sea, that methane, 23 times as potent a
warming gas as is CO2, will begin to pour out
into the atmosphere, causing a raging cycle of
heating. Obama, I believe, will be the right
person at the right time, to lead whatever
response will be necessary for this or
whatever other climate catastrophes begin to
hit.
And that brings me to the final reason I am
voting for Obama. As crazy as John McCain
clearly is, with his default setting on war as
a solution for all problems, this sickly and
possibly terminally ill old man has chosen to
have a certifiable right-wing, closed-minded,
bigoted and stunningly ignorant religious
zealot as his back-up. Sarah Palin, as vice
president, would in all probability end up
becoming president during a McCain first term.
This country and the world simply cannot
risk having as the leader of America an
end-of-times believer at this critical moment.
It’s not just the polar bears and the wolves
in Alaska who would suffer under a Palin
presidency. It would be all life on earth.
