Lessig now "threatening" Democrats he'll run as an independent if they don't start taking him seriously. Seriously. #TechbroThirdWay
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015This prompted a response, and then a rather revealing exchange:
@dalecarrico yeah, he should have done that from the beginning. Huge mistake assuming the Democrats would be democratic
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur He's a fake candidate and the DNC isn't letting his performance art (however good the cause) pre-empt its process. Boo-hoo.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico amazing that instead of blaming the party for excluding someone who has a lot of supporters, you attack the candidate
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur I'm happy to support Lessig the writer by teaching his work, but I'm not supporting his lame performance art piece, sorry.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico no one asked you to support him asshole. We simply ask that he be allowed to make his case
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur He is making his case. And actually he is asking for my support as a candidate despite palpably not being a real one.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico you and you get to decide who is allowed to speak, eh?
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur I get to have an opinion. It seems to accord with the decision of the DNC, and I think that is sensible. Oh, the tyranny!
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico you get to have an opinion. But if your opinion is that I don't get a voice, the it's 3rd party for me. Adios
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur I question his methods and you threaten (as he does) to take your toys and go home and call me an "asshole." Very Serious.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico denying me a voice is about the worst sin you could commit. I won't support the unDemocrats.
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur For someone denied a voice you sure are talking a lot in public. Lessig's activist performance art is getting promoted too.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur Good luck. If you do care about issues Lessig is talking about I hope you support real actions (also Democrats) who agree.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico I will work against the undemocratic party
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur You will find many allies among the white-racist patriarchal plutocrats of the GOP, oh great lover of liberty.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico I'll probably support Jill Stein if Lessig doesn't run independent. She's not right wing
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur I'm not at all surprised. Presumably you're insulated by privilege from possible consequences of edifying symbolic voting.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico she'll have a genuine shot of winning as long as your party doesn't conspire with the Republicans to keep her out of debates
— Joe (@NewsConnoisseur) October 12, 2015@NewsConnoisseur Uh huh.
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 12, 2015@dalecarrico uh huh.

Yeah Dale, if you dumb Democraps stop conspiring against Jill Stein she might even be able to triple her 2012 numbers and get a whole single percent of the vote!
The speed with which our Lessigian techbro went from Democrat wounded that his stunt candidate with so very many supporters wasn't being catered to by the Party to third-party spoiler dedicated to the destruction of eeeevil Democrats above all else was a joy to behold. His loss will be keenly felt.
