Maybe if the Democrats would sac up and get out of the pockets of corporations, then we wouldn't need true american heroes like Ralph Nader.
Just because you vote for a Democrat doesn't mean you aren't throwing your vote away.
Tell me again why the Democrats deserve my vote? And if you say because we can't have four more years of the Republicans, then that makes you another tool of the system.
You do have a choice for fuck's sake, use it wisely, think for yourself. Don't be a victim of political extortion.
I'm still waiting for someone to give me a reason to vote for a Democrat. And the reason can't include "at least they aren't a republican".
For iggyskier and the rest: The two-party system is an illusion. There is only one party, the party of the rich and powerful and they use both the Democrats and Republicans. Follow the money and campaign contributions and check out voting records.
When I hear someone say: You are throwing your vote away or there are only two choices. I know that person does not think for themselves, they are merely repeating the lies of those that don't want you to know that you DO HAVE A CHOICE! Who has the most to lose if you vote for a third party? The Democrats and the Republicans have the most to lose, no suprise then that they repeat that same lie about throwing your vote away, over and over again.
you need to learn some stuff about the way societies and politics work. There is a reason that we narrow it down to 2 political candidates, if there were a shit ton of candidates, the vote would get split so thin that the winner could be some person that 80 percent of the people in the nation didnt want, but since a 20 percent win puts you in the lead, you could win
Now I am not saying I am voting for Nader this election, I will probably write in Kucinich again. I want the Democrats to know that I will vote for them if they actually field a worthwhile candidate.
I hear people calling Nader a narcissist and a moron, but these ad hominem attacks only reinforce my negative opinion of the Nader haters. Where are the issues being discussed? I'm still waiting for that one reason I should vote for a Democrat that doesn't involve politcal blackmail.
