...the decision on whether to vote for clinton or not is not easy for me. i am very far left. the democratic party, in general, is ALWAYS a compromise for me. one problem i have is that my nose-holding votes aren't counted as such, they are just votes like any other. they go to provide support, if not mandate, for the dem victor, who turns around and says, "look how many people voted for me!" and thus continues the vicious circle, with my support.

i want to break the cycle of the dems ignoring the left. how can i do that AND vote against bush? quite a dilemma, as i see it.

i'm beginning to think it's time for a real change in strategy for progressives.

love your sig line, too.
