Can you help me make the same point with the few voting anarchists out there?
I keep telling them that our numbers are so small, that the two parties don't care who we vote for, so we might as well stick to our principles and go forward with tactics that match those principles.
Kucinich strikes me as being like those creepy liberal guys I run into at parties who want to talk about 9/11 and the JFK assassination. I'm so damn polite and my Lutheran niceness makes it hard to find an out when these guys corner me.
