No it's not. Voting for Kerry is the same as voting for Bush, unfortunately, for their policies are very similar. It is the Democrats who are stealing votes from Nader by scaring people away, not the contrary.

Oh, c'mon Laukev! I know you are more intelligent then that! Do you actually think Nader could win? or anyone from a third party for that matter?

I didn't post that to make an argument. I thought it was funny.
quote:NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Voting for Nader is the same thing as voting for Bush! Nader is a fuck wad with a big ego. He knows he will loose this election so why is he running? All he is doing is fucking Kerry over.

I think it's good that he run, because voting shouldn't be about choosing the lesser two evils (which is what some consider Bush and Kerry). Also, who says that all Nader voters would vote for Kerry? For example, my dad voted for Bush in 2000, but isn't sure about this time. But he won't vote for Kerry. So, there's one potential Republican Nader voter. I bet there's many.

Practically speaking, and given the long-time two-party system, it would be very difficult for a third party to get in. However, as I said before, the only reason people don't vote for Nader is because people don't vote for Nader, and if the United States is to improve its political situation, then the American people will need to get out of that two-party stalemate.
But what does it change if Nader gets more votes? Couldn't the Democrats form a coalition with the Reform Party, at least to beat Bush?
How about you, WMD? I dare hope you aren't going to support Bush?

I don't know. I'm about ready to give up deciding. The whole political situation this time around is too unique (at least for my lifetime) for me to fully comprehend. It's not that I've missed something. It's that it's too far from the norm in what the arguments and acusations are.

The only thing sadder than the fact that millions of Americans still support Bush is that the rest of the country couldn't/can't bring themselves to vote for anyone more progressive than the pathetically disappointing Kerry, like Kucinich or Nader.
