Also, if you don't regularly read deadpoet83, you should at least read today: I'm tired of hearing that wanting the government to acknowledge my rights is too "radical" and "this is too much of an important election to be concerned with things like that." Fuck you too.

I suspect I'm only voting to get Bush out of office in a couple of weeks, but for those of you holding to a higher standard - it is not too radical, and every fucking election is important.

that post was amazing. i'm so conflicted because i totally agree with her, but bush needs to get the hell out of office. i won't really be able to stomach either thing: either voting for kerry, or not voting for kerry. my plans at this point are to vote for him. :-/

I'm with you. None of the other candidates I could vote for moves me, either. So my only temptation is to write someone in. It would be personally vindicating, but would feel like a waste to me. SUCKS.

I hope no one's reading my post as condemning Kerry voters, because that's not what I meant to do at all. A lot of people believe very strongly in Kerry, or believe very strongly in anyone but Bush, so they are voting for Kerry, and that's totally fine. And if I didn't live in California, which is a very strong Kerry state, I would definitely be more conflicted about the whole thing, and might even be persuaded to vote for Kerry. Vote in the way you think will affect the country most positively.

I didn't read your post that way at all! I read it as an indictment of always settling for the lesser evil or thinking that you HAVE to just accept crumbs from the Democratic party.
