THE LITTLE GREEN PARTY

As you could surmise from my last two blogs, I don’t have much going on. That’s why today I decided to form a political party. I don’t know why it took me SO LONG to come up with the idea. It was simple. There’s already a “Green Party,” so name recognition is baked in. Then, all I had to do was cob together some text over a photo and the party was formed…..I thought. Feeling self-satisfied I got off the couch and forced myself to get some wood in for the night. I was bending over and picking up a log when inspiration hit, and the party was truly formed. The slogan: “Let’s Get This Party Started!” Popped into my noggin. That’s what was missing. Now we have eight years to get our shit together. The entire process took about 20 minutes. I’m sure political parties have been formed in less time…. still it wasn’t bad. What’s our platform? You ask. Even without any candidate, I have an answer – Potlatch. Simply put, this is an ancient system of consumer dependency and power distribution that relies on the belief that the more you give away, the more status you gain within the community. Usually, hyper-localized, there’s no reason why this mindset could not be applied globally. There’s an intrinsic element of healthy competition here. Billionaire slobs love to one up each other in any exchange. Imagine if people actually wanted to have dinner with Elon Musk or Trump without all the genuflecting and reach-arounds? Imagine if billionaires competed in give-away largess? THIS is what LGP candidates (we only run for Prez) would be all aout. There’s no time to waste. I put it out there. I got two likes on insta. Come on PEOPLE! You all have been bitching forever that the two-party system doesn’t work. I agree. The T-shirts (that I hope to get somebody to pay for) will say – L.G.P. - LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! Check for rallies to come!
