It's your judgment -- but don't distort the case against Kerry by phrasing it this way.
I oppose Kerry for the _same_ reasons you support him. A DP victory will be as bad, perhaps worse within a short time span of less than a decade, for women, blacks, queers, et al. It's not a matter of purity, about which I don't give a shit, but a matter of political judgment about how progressives can best serve, and in the short run as well as the long run, of the interests you name here.
I don't know who this "Bill" is you are responding to, but he doesn't give a very good presentation of the case against supporting Kerry.

You are kidding yourself. Doug claims it's not an either/or, but it is.
