[lbo-talk] Re: Ralph Nader, Suicide Bomber

[Joseph Wanzala]

what do you base the 5% figure on other than the number of people who voted 
for Nader or other Third Party candidates? What about the 11 million 
Democrats who voted for Bush in 2000? What about the majority of people who 
do not vote at all? Certainly most of the people who do not vote are 
apathetic and apolitical, but unless you can come up with a way of 
determining how many non-voters do not vote because to them the 
Democrats/Republicans are like the Institional Revolutionary Party in Mexico 
then your 5% is meaningless. 5% may be a measure of the number politically 
engaged people who vote third party because they see no difference, but what 
about the rest?
