that was my thinking in 2000. i voted nader. no i don't think i cost gore the election. i simply thought that it didn't make much difference who won, so i was voting to try and secure the greens equal funding in 2004. and hopefully have a genuine third option. the last 8 years have proven that it DOES make a difference. i don't think anyone could successfully argue that a gore presidency would not have been remarkably better. the media has chosen two candidates. i have taken sides. is he a perfect candidate? fuck no. but he's light years better than another 4-8 years of a republican who changes his positions when the wind blows.
I agree, up to a point. Obama appears to be better then any repug, but the repugs are so drearily bad that it's not hard for Obama to seem like an improvement. As I said before, I would vote for Obama, for lack of a better alternative.
