Naderites/secessionists: wait a second, the SCOTUS picks are YOUR fault!

[LoZoccolo]

I'm not surprised, that people are on here threatening to leave the Democratic Party if Bush's nominee is confirmed. After all, for people who do that like once a week, and who's chosen method of recourse for unfavorable political events is to sit behind a computer and complain, it's a pretty reflexive response to anything you don't like.

But don't think for a second that you really have any credibility in this matter, seeing as if you hadn't messed around and played your little game in 2000, President Gore would be replacing two or three Supreme Court justices this term. Don't think for a moment that by huffing and puffing about the Democratic Party, going off in a self-righteous manner, that we're going to forget that that's not so. No amount of screeching and whining is going to distract us from that simple fact. You really don't have a leg to stand on.

What you need to do is go and sit in the corner, and be quiet, until we tell you that we're done fixing what you went and broke.

1. This is exactly why I told my Nader friends/acquaintances to vote Gore

Unfortunately, they still voted Nader to "teach the Dems a lesson."

puke

6. I don't confuse democracy with political pedophilia.

As in, convincing impressionable college students that there's no difference between the two parties.

5. Oh for fuck's sake, hello and welcome to democracy

People get to vote for whoever they want.

7. I never said they didn't.

I did say that when I'm president, that I will send Nader to jail for running for president himself, but I never said that I would punish the voters themselves.

8. This thread is flamebait

While none of us like the * nominee, it's counterproductive to waste energy on in-fighting, when we have a much bigger fight to focus on.
