Fuck you, Ralph Nader!! FUCK YOU!!! Just... go the fuck away already!
I realize that having a two-party system is not ideal. I think it would be lovely to have more options. In fact, I believe in some of the tenets of the Green Party. But Ralph Nader is not a representation of those ideals. To borrow a phrase from a friend, he's like an old drunk guy who shows up late and uninvited to your birthday just to piss in the punch.
His timing couldn't be more impeccable.
Didn't he say he was done putting in his bid for the presidency after his party failed to secure 10% of the vote last year? He just had to bring his smirking mug back for one more shot at screwing up the voting system?
I would thank you, Ralph Nader, if I were a Republican. Thank you for being an asshole. Honestly, I wish my party didn't need the votes of the disillusioned idealists who will sacrifice theirs to vote for you. I wish that weren't the kind of system it is.
Honestly, I hope that this time it will be different, because we have Obama, and he is someone who even the most daring of idealists can believe in.
But Ralph Nader, I hope even more that this is the end of you.

No, I'm with you. Fuck him for siphoning off the democratic vote. And fuck the girl in high school who told me we'd need 'some hard times' before we broke out of the two party system. I hope she thinks this is fucking worth it.

I don't think he has as much chance of screwing with things in this election as much as he did last time. But yeah, it still ruined my morning to read that news in the newspaper. Flugh.
