Get real. You're deluding yourself. A vote for Nader at this point is *a vote
for Bush*.
Keep voting indirectly for Bush. But don't whine if GWB gets reelected and
continues hauling the US into a decline that may take decades to reverse.
I don't like the 2-party system either. I'm independent, I don't consider
myself a member of *any* party out there. But I also am not going to bury my
head in the sand and say a vote for a candidate that will *NEVER* make it into
office is a vote against both parties. It's not, it's a vote against the Dem
candidate, and FOR GWB.
Unless the Dem candidate is as bad as GWB (I can't imagine them finding someone
*that* bad), I will make a *realistic* vote for changing the leadership of this
country, and vote Dem.
Independents don't have the pull yet. Maybe in the future. But I'm more
interested in getting GWB out of office than throwing away the country's
near/far future on making a statement.
