I wonder what sort of global massacre it is going to take to open "lesser-evil" eyes to the fact that the Republican Party is less dangerous to human survival than the Democratic Party. Political conditions will become steadily more unfriendly to progressive issues, imperialist savagery will become more and more effective, the *real* as opposed to merely theoretical right to an abortion (or any kind of medical care) will become a more and more distant prospect, as long as the Democratic Party holds this strange grip on would-be progressives. What sort of disaster will break this grip?
If Gore wins this election, the Democratic nominee in 2012 will be to the right of Ronald Reagan politically.
