That’s Right, I’m Supporting Ralph Nader, Now More Than Ever
Posted by Richard S. on February 4, 2008
Just in case you missed it in the last post… Apologies to my fellow ultra-leftists and former fellow comrades in the anarchist “movement” who might be offended by my ideological “confusion” here… But I see this as the best thing to do, in light of the meaningless election with which we will be bombarded (even worse than in 2004: worse - as in less of a - choice, and more bombardment). And, as I said in my prior post, this will be my own balance of conscience with practicality of a sort…
Of course, I do want to do something other than vote, but what is there to do? I’m not that eager to hear the “You can start it yourself” line these days - I came to the conclusion a while ago that I am not the ideal activist-as-political-motivator, and even the best of those seem to be able to do nothing right now.
So, anyway, barring anything more interesting to be involved with (the main reason I stayed home from the polls in 2000), I am going for Nader - hell, I might even wear a button for him.

P.S. There are some nice comments from other once-again Nader supporters over at Stop Me Before I Vote Again.
