[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the general election comes down to Hillary Clinton vs any Republican, you may feel like you are choosing the lesser of two evils in voting for Clinton - but as another PP pointed out, lets remember that the "greater of two evils" did in 2000.  Allowed 9/11, started two wars - one completely unnecessary and immoral, collapsed the economy, and changed the face of the Supreme Court and got us Citizens United.

You would truly be a fool to vote for any Republican or throw away your vote on a third party candidate.  [/quote]

But look how many "foolish" voters there were in 2000.  (sorry to the Nader voter/poster for calling you foolish!)  All you heard during that election was how there was no difference between the two parties, and look how that turned out.

You are assuming that somehow the electorate will have learned some great lesson, but (PP notwithstanding) I disagree. A lot of voters have a pretty poor understanding of the various powers and limitations of different parts of the government, so they don't do a spectacular job of holding politicians appropriately accountable. Plus a significant segment of Obama's winning coalition-- essential to a Democratic victory-- were not even eligible to vote yet.[/quote]
