I can't follow your logic in the following. If you vote against the
republicrats you add one vote to the group that is trying to take control
away from them. It costs you only 10 minutes to stop at the poll. I voted
for Nader (a good guy in my opinion), I voted for Perot (a facist in my
opinion) and as I said when I voted for Perot I would have voted for
Mussolini if he were running - provided merely that he was not a
republicrat.

> Like the people who voted for Nader; yeah he is
> awesome but he never would have won the election

because the u$ is not a democracy. it's a 2 headed
dictatorship. the republicrats are the only one's
who'll ever have real power in the u$. sure you can
vote for whoever you want. i could vote for nader but
why bother? hence the fact i don't vote and never
will. while i know that the u$'ll never be a working
anarchy if there were more parties to vote for i would
because in that case 2nd best is all we could ever
hope to attain, because after all humanity is much
like sheep... it needs to be led.
