Reply #94: Perhaps its time to run this country into the ground.

[Political Heretic]

No I'm not kidding, but I did say perhaps.

I'm not sure that what's best for the country is consistently choosing the lesser of two evils. One might argue that what that has gotten us is a slow decline where in many things slowly get worse and worse - but hey at least its slowly, interspersed with brief upswings.

Sometimes in order for things to get better, they have to hit bottom. Kind of like someone who needs to make serious life changes - many times its not until they really face bottom that change is even possible.

So, you have to consider the possibility that when you keep threating someone with "you're gonna get a republican elected!" they might already be well aware of this, and think that it may in fact just be better for the country in the long run then continuing to vote for the party that is screwing the country over more slowly than the other one.

I'm not sure that these opinions reflect my own - I admit I waver, but have voted Democratic. But you should at least understand that this is where people who refuse to vote for a democrat they don't believe in are coming from.
