[...] Back in February, on the occasion of Ralph Nader again declaring his intention to run headfirst into a brick wall for President, Sifu Tweety Fish of The Poor Man Institute decided that, a sufficient amount of something having somethinged, that the time had come around to annoy Nader supporters.

I’m not going to vote for Hillary. I appreciate Ralph’s efforts to give me an alternative if I need one.

May the Creative Forces of the Universe stand beside us, and guide us, through the Night with the Light from Above (speaking metaphorically)

OK, I know this is all just troll soup, but I still have issues.

HOW CAN WE STILL FIGHT THESE FUCKING BATTLES WITHOUT MENTIONING ELECTION REFORM? There need never be another spoiler candidate again. IRV just fixes it, or, if you prefer, there are other voting systems, ALL of them better than what we’ve got. If you are a citizen – right, left, or center – and not a corporate entity, PR flak, or political consultant, you cannot help but want that.

Yeah, Bush has done enormous damage to humanity in just 8 years, but changing the system would last as long as the constitution will, and it would mean candidates who listen more EVERY TIME.

I voted for Nader in 2000 (in a state that went safely Gore). And when the circus started, I was actually happy about it for a while – I thought that Gore would win it in the end, and, by focusing attention on the horrible broken system, I thought the whole thing would boost the cause of reform.

I honestly still cannot get my head around the fact that people would rather fight about “your fault – no it isn’t” than just fucking fix the problem once and for all.

Nader defenders don’t make me angry, and even “Nader is Satan” doesn’t make me angry. But this particular flavor of troll soup where everybody ignores the elephant makes me LIVID.

If Nader hadn’t taken so many votes away from Bush, there wouldn’t even have been the appearance of a contested election and we’d all have nothing to complain about now, so I think you owe him. Big.

Will he ever get the point after getting less than 3% of the vote, that he is not popular?

Go Ralph! Stick it to the man! My motto is, .08 in ’08.

Oh and by the way, to all Nader voters, past and present, please suck my balls. Thanks for G. Dubya, assholes.

“… a topic where people to this day still point their poo-covered finger in the wrong direction.

If your participation in this thread was an attempt to fly the Nader flag, you should have quit before starting. Thanks for the chuckles, tho, and making me wonder if you’re really a Nader-hater trying to make his supporters look bad.

Sifu:
“Also, this is neither here nor there, but what is a dick-slapping contest? What does one slap, with what? And who on Earth wins?”

It’s where a bunch of lonely and portly men (grown babies) take out their peckers and slap eachothers with them.

Everyone wins!

And for the fish-in-a-barrel that this thread has been, I feel pretty cheated. In-jokes, snarks or whatever, but blatantly hooking your readers for a fake discussion is pretty gay (have I said the word “retarded” too much in this pseudo thread?) especially over a topic where people to this day still point their poo-covered finger in the wrong direction.

“Is this just a virtual dick-slapping contest complete with fake-trolls and unfunny inside jokes, or an actual thread about an actual topic of actual discussion?”

It’s thread of an unconventional nature with intent to cause grievous mental confusion to the Great American Public.
