ORGANIZED VOTER EXTORTION—THE NEEDED INTERVENTION IN A CORRUPT “POLITICAL MARKET” My new OpEdNews article uses an extensive analogy between economics and politics to argue that, in our rigged political market, organized political extortion by a sizable organized minority of voters is the best—and possibly the ONLY—tool of correction. Or rather, weapon of correction, since the article, in a playful reference to “Dr. Strangelove,” cites political extortion as the “nuclear bomb” we must learn to love. Though written to prompt strategy discussion by the young but growing Pitchforks Against Plutocracy movement, the strategy discussion should interest ALL activists fighting our dollar-dominated political system. I hope you’ll share it widely, and consider joining the Pitchfork movement yourself, as a means of uniting our separated activist fingers in one powerful political fist.
