    The ones that don’t hold their nose are the problem. We’d be in a different world if just 538 (more) of the 100k Florida Nader voters got over themselves and realized there was a pro-environment candidate that actually could’ve won had they just poked a different chad. Hope they enjoy their state falling into the ocean.

    That’s the problem with our voting system. You can have ideals all you want but they are actively working against you if you’ve actually try to vote with them.

    There won’t be any leftward progress as long as our government is made of a big-tent party (that includes the far left) that’s rife with infighting and a smaller party that doesn’t want anything but to distance themselves from the big party altogether that somehow manages to maintain enough power to achieve their goal of slowing them down.
