Voting third party is irredeemably hopeless. [View all]

[cali]

At least for the foreseeable future. (Unless like me you live in Vermont where there actually is a viable 3rd party)

I understand the anger and frustration with the national party. That's where I'm at, but every time I hear the vote third party! stop supporting dems! rhetoric, I'm just puzzled as to how anyone can think that essentially throwing the towel in, is going to accomplish anything good. There just aren't NEARLY enough people who think that's an option to actually make democrats sit up and take notice and stop their bad fiscal centrist ways.

I will never concede on the facts and the facts are that republican fiscal policy is solely about cutting taxes and slashing the social safety net. The facts are that on social policy, the republicans want to end choice, to deny civil rights, to cut HUD and on and on. And a republican president would preside over that agenda. A republican president would name Supreme Court Justices.

No difference?
