Vote Nader!, well, no, don't.

I hope you will join me.
I hope you will be unable* to vote come election day. I further hope that only people who might otherwise have voted for W will take you up on your call to vote for Nader. As Dean said, the most important thing is to get GWB out of office. You may want to ponder that perhaps D candidates, having learned a lesson finally from R people (esp GWB) are publicly taking positions that do not reflect exactly what they would do if they were in office. This is sometimes done to "broaden appeal."

*for some non-tragic reason, like a last-minute business trip or simple forgetfulness

If any admin feels that perhaps overtly political things don't belong on the FB I won't be offended if deleted.

ETA that if you think Nader is an idiot and that W and whoever ends up being the D candidate are evil, then perhaps it would be more principled to abstain from voting. How proud could anyone be of saying "I voted for an unelectable idiot!"? If the answer is "very proud" you may want to consider that you, yourself, are an idiot.

I also hope that you move to, say, TX where your not voting for the D candidate will make no earthly difference because the state is sure to go for W.
