"You think Democrats are entitled to my vote".
I would never say that, and never imply that.
But the very simple electoral reality is this - if the Democrat does not get more votes than the Republican, then the Republican wins.
Even a Nader voter should be able to figure that out.
I mean crikey what is with all the fucking denial. Myself, I voted 3rd party twice - in 1992 and 1996, but at least I did it with my eyes open. I KNEW that what I was doing in 1992 might help George Bush get re-elected. At the time though, I did not care, since I did not see all that much difference between Clinton and Bush anyway. They both seemed like moderate Republicans to me.
No, nobody is saying somebody is entitled to your vote. You vote whatever way you want to. Just do NOT DELUDE yourself into thinking that your decision does not have any consequences.
