Poll question: Who should we be protesting more?
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 07:13 PM by La_Serpiente
Nader or Bush?

We won the election in 2000 even with many progressive and Liberals supporting him - and the Democrats didn't really acknowledge him either.

I don't want to see Nader enter the race. But now that he is in, we don't need hyperreactions to his entrace in the race. The last thing we need to do is split the left. At least protest Bush more than Nader if you are going to do it.

1. Ignore Nader
and focus on beating shrub. We can do it even with Nader in the race.

4. I agree.
I don't think he'll really factor in that much at all, especially this time around.

2. Nader is so 2000
We are completely over him. There is too much at stake. Nobody is voting principle this year -- we are voting for our very survival.

3. Line of the year:
"We are voting for our own survival"

Thank you. I hope more people read this and consider it when voting in Nov.

5. yeah you're right
complaining about Nader isn't really very productive. It would be better to think about what he is saying and use that against Bush.
