thought you were joking. i'm in, though i don't think i'd be considered a Real Marxit (wouldn't ya like to be a Marxit, too?) Disclosure: I don't know a damn thing about the guy, haven't paid any attention to electoral politics since I don't give a bat's eyelash about any of it. While I'm not sure a repub defeat would be humiliating, what I do think is that a Repub win would be emboldening. And that's what is scary.
All you want is digital bodies, right? I don't need to be a rabid fan or anything, right? Can I bail on the guy later, if I want? I don't, like, have to do anything, right? I've got five pieces of furniture to strip and refinish, a yard that needs help, and a partner moving in shortly. This broad has no time.
M4D, of course, looks like MAD. Intentional?
Change it to Radicals for Dean (R4D) or Leftists for Dean (L4D) and maybe you'll get more people on board, eh?
To those who get freaked out when we talk about electoral politics. This kind of debate doesn't detract from activities spent helping build "a left social movement". People who talk about who to pull the lever for either weren't going to contribute to the building of a left social movement anyway; are contributing to it in ways you don't appreciate and they'd be debating some other topic were it not for this one; or, they are contributing to a "left social movement" in ways you approve, you just fail to realize that since not everyone here broadcasts their activities.
Only Nathan and Brad and, maybe, Oblate (Luke) seem to be willing to spend any energy on conventional democratic politics. Did you think exhorting them to stop doing so would make a "dime's worth of difference"?
