IS VOTING FOR NADER SUCH A BAD IDEA?

Every four years we are told by desperate and narrow-minded Democrats that voting for Nader is a terrible idea because we will get a Republican in the White House. Yet, we have not seen the Democratic Congress take progressive positions, have we?

Do Democrats want to end the special privileges of corporations as well as corporate status as a "person"? No they don't. Of course, here I am referring to the professional politicians and those who own them.

Do Democrats want to end the war in Iraq? Not really.

Do Democrats want to do anything progressive? Only reluctantly and if they are forced to do so by a political threat from the "Left" ie. a political movement that pressures them into doing what they pretend they want to do.

The Democratic party is a funnel for the big bourgeoisie, a place to cage and defeat progressive American movements. The Democratic Party is a killing field for popular progressive movements.

Any progressive who votes for Obama must be ready to oppose him immediately after he is elected because he may or may not be a lesser
evil than McCain but he is not a progressive.
