We only have six days left until the most historic WWBD election of our lifetimes. I can’t stress enough just how important it is for you to vote in my blog’s latest poll . The world is watching.
So, who would Batman vote for? I’m qualified enough (I can see a Russian Blue from my house) to answer this question plaguing all Americans. But first, we must ask ourselves, who is Batman? This may seem simple on the surface — afterall, any unemployed English grad can write a blog about Him — but what do we really know about His political ideologies, His conscious beliefs of how government should be run?
Batman is a maverick ; He goes His own way no matter what the consequences. And whether it be the Justice League or the Outsiders, the Dark Knight won’t tolerate being a part of any party that doesn’t focus on the general well-being of all citizens.
Batman is a hoper ; He firmly believes in the simple principle that there is no good or evil, just right and wrong decisions. Humans are capable of extraordinary things, all they need is to be inspired to take action.
Batman is a sole crusader in an environment that thrives on attacking the underdog; He knows that one man can make a difference, one vote can make a difference. That said, Batman would vote for a third party candidate.
Batman is a proponent of swift, radical action to make the smallest changes — because any change created to ease the world’s suffering is a change long overdue. He has seen (and been a part of) the power of communities working individually for the benefit of all citizens. He knows firsthand of corporate greed, and He understands that absolute power absolutely corrupts.
But perhaps most importantly, Batman doesn’t kill. He understands the enormous burden that would be lifted from Gotham City if He would only end the reigns of terror stemming from the Joker, Two Face, Poison Ivy, Clayface and countless others by simply taking the one thing from them that they hold dear. But Batman doesn’t kill, because if he crosses that line, then he’s no better than them, then he’s finally admitted that redemption is only attainable for the few privledged souls who grew up instilled with the knowledge of right and wrong. Batman isn’t afraid of doing things the hard way as long as it’s for the common good.
And it is for these reasons that Batman, the Selfless Protector of Gotham, the Dark Knight Detective, would vote for Ralph Nader for President of the United States of America.
