Ralph Nader starting up with his "both parties are the same" B.S. again

79. There is one respect in which that is absolutely true

Both parties have cheerfully supported the post-WW II imperial military empire. However, given that there are so many people's livelihoods involved, there is no way anyone could even be in the position of being able to seriously run for president at all without agreeing to continue it. Changing that is going to have to be bottom up, not top down.

However, there is one FUCK of a difference on domestic issues. Social Security? Medicare? Unemployment insurance? Environmental regulation? No contest, even though all too many Dems are unacceptably wussy in the defense of their major accomplishments. And even that is different from favoring their outright destruction, as Repubs do.

Edited to add--if we are stuck with being an imperial power for the time being, better someone cool and rational in charge instead of a blithering, blustering posturer.
