So why not give it up, Frank? Your Democratic/Kerry loyalties are clouding your judgment.

Look Frank, the Democratic party simply will not lead the anti-war charge. They won't. Everyone knows that.

The anti-war movement capitulated to the Democrats in the hopes they could oust the Republicans, and thereby, hope to shorten the war. But that was a long shot at best with the Democrats, because there are a lot of hawks among them.

Frank, I always believe things turn out the way they should for a reason. If Kerry had won, he likely would have continued to co-opt the anti-war movement like he did during the election.

The victims of American imperialism need our antiwar movement to remain independent of the US electoral system, to keep it from being held hostage by the partisan warfare, as it was this election year.

The victims of American imperialism also need our antiwar movement to unite with a global antiwar, anti-imperialism movement. That is what the future generations of the planet need too.

I'm not joining the Democrats Frank, and nor are the majority of the progressive left. We aren't joining them Frank, because they are NOT the world's best hope, they are our worst nightmare, the flip side of the capitalist coin, but half the coin nonetheless.
