Reply #17: Utterly wrong. The enemy is not Bush, it's the forces in society that he

represents. The 2-party system often winds up giving you a "choice" of TWO DIFFERENT representatives of these same social forces. Defeating Bush does not help at all, if the person who replaces him is not seriously opposed to the social forces that gave rise to Bush.

That is just where we're headed if Clark or Kerry is the nominee (with Dean being somewhat better, but not much better).

This "ABB" stuff is nonsense. It confuses people and diverts their attention from much that's important. Pretending that Bush himself is the enemy, but failing to see how necessary it is to extirpate the entire social milieu that he represents -- this approach cannot possibly succeed.

America is already dumbed-down enough. Hysterical screeching of the "ABB" slogan contributes to further dumbing-down; it does nothing to alleviate it.
