    Step 1: Vote for Biden now. Step 2: Vote for every Democrat. Do this until the Republican party is a smoking crater.

    I remember this strategy when it started with “Vote for Gore now.” I’ve got the Kucinich for President bumper sticker to prove it. I do not believe this strategy will ever work, mostly because America isn’t nearly as progressive as you think it is.

    Us weirdos need to get used to being unhappy about the government because it will never be what we want because it’s a giant group project and those always suck ass.

      That would have more weight except people voting for Nader gave us 8 years of Bush by not understanding how a FPTP system works, so I don’t know that Gore is really an argument against this so much as for it.

        It’s not an argument for or against voting blue no matter who. It’s an argument against our shitty system that gives us such shitty choices.
