Chomsky does not feed

Chomsky does not feed illusions. He says very clearly, and over and over again, that the Republicans and the Democrats represent two wings of the Business Party, and that it won’t make a huge amount of difference who gets in, certainly not when it comes to foreign policy and so on. But although it won’t make a huge amount of difference, it will make a small amount of difference (Chomsky quotes empirical evidence to support this) to some of the poorest people in the country. So, do you care? They do. Chomsky’s position on voting is born out of compassion and class solidarity. Supporting the lesser evil is a pretty obviously sensible and decent thing to do.
