I am so sick of people on the left making the perfect the enemy of the good. This is why the right keeps beating us. Because if we don't get everything our way, we pick up our toys and go home. If this continues, we're going to live in a country where there is no social safety net, where people are jailed for voicing dissent, where social security is eliminated, where the income tax is eliminated and more regressive taxation is in place and more terrible things. If this is what you want, vote for Nader or stay home. If you want to change things for the better, vote for John Kerry.
