63. Nope. When people disagree with "if ralph didn't run," our education system is FUCKING dead

since apparently it does not teach basic logic. It is hilarious how you blame everyone except the one single person who actually caused Gore to not become President.

The biggest problem with our democracy is that it ALLOWS people to vote for third party spoilers in the first place. There should be an open primary, where everyone from any party can run (including Nader et al), and then a general election runoff featuring the top 2 candidates. Then, if people wanted to vote for Nader in the second election after he failed to even hit 5% let alone 50% in the first election, that would just be too fucking bad for them. We have this in WA state and LA state (and typical runoffs in many other states) -- it needs to go national.
