Thread Name: BS: Anybody But Bush?
Subject: RE: BS: Anybody But Bush?
So, how many of you read the Tikkun article?

Based on the responses, not too many of you. We keep seeing the same argument from the "Anybody But Bush" posters, going round and round.

Read the article. I'm not a Nader die hard, or a Dean die hard, or an anybody diehard. I'm dedicated to social and political transformation of this country I love. If Nader helps get us there, then I'm for Nader. If Dean helps us get there, then I'm for Dean. If I have to vote for Kerry, I will, but if it isn't necessary for me to vote for Kerry to get rid of Bush, then I won't vote for Kerry.

Kerry might mean regime change, but regime change won't deal with any of the problems we face. It just pulls the plug on the current occupants of the White House. Electoral politics will never be the one and only means of transforming our society, and so I don't limit what I do to bring about change to electoral politics.

A Kerry White House and a Republican Congress won't solve a thing.
