For the record

If you disappointed Howard Dean supporters vote for Nader and we're all stuck with another four years of our current President, I will be furious. Furious in that "I respect your right to vote your conscience and hope you can understand my never speaking to you again" way.

And in case it wasn't obvious, I wouldn't vote for Nader if Christ himself came down from the heavens and said "vote for this man". Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding.

Dean was the best candidate. Period. Nader is a shit, and I'll hold my nose and vote for Kerry in November. In the meantime, since I don't trust him to be able to rally the masses in any way but the grimly determined "anybody but Bush" way, I'll be sending money to every Democratic candidate for Senate that I can find.

I am seriously so pissed right now I don't know what to say. Can you start asking Kucinich voters this first, at least? Can you do us the service of pretending that we're not all idealistic nuts like the Kucinich voters? Sheesh.

I'm glad to hear that.

I've overheard (on friends pages, friendsfriends, in casual conversation) a lot of Dean supporters who seem very strongly anti-Kerry. Pardon me for worrying that some of them might decide to give their vote to someone other than Kerry, should he take the nomination.

Well, then, I guess I'll just have to pardon you for questioning our collective loyalty, intelligence, practicality, and the Sesame Street-like ability to tell that when it comes to Dean and Nader, one of these things is not like the other.

I'm still hurt. I spent an entire year trying to explain to the world that Dean people are not crazy lunatic radicals, and you've made me realize that this has fallen completely on deaf ears. I have made utterly no difference in this election; thank you so much for bringing that realization crashing down on me.
