Dark One
The Tainted Dogma
I certainly don't take that for granted. Many of the Kerry supporters I've spoken too are still unsure as to whether he can do a good job as president, but they don't necessarily think he sucks and is just the lesser of two evils or something, and I respect their opinion. I did hear quite alot of that in 2000 though. More people were familiar with Gore that year and saw Gore as the lesser of two evils, this year, there's more uncertainty surrounding Kerry based on his campaign vs. his prior voting history and so forth.Black Winter Day said:Maybe it's just me, but it seems that many Bush supporters this year pull the "whole-2-party-system-sucks" card in arguments, taking it for granted that Democrats automatically think Kerry sucks, but just happen to hate Bush more. Then, of course, they go to the polls and vote for Bush. It's almost as if he has closet-supporters.
I don't see how the "whole-2-party-system-sucks" argument is a "card" to play. The current incarnation of it sucks because the way it is presented in the media tends to divide so many people based solely on politics. Too much finger pointing, name calling, rhetoric, blah blah blah you name it. On both sides, not just one or the other.
