Funny that you mention the Communists.

In the USSR, “voting” was done with a ballot with one name on it.

In the USA, “voting” is now done with a ballot with two names on it, both of whom will have virtually identical policies.

Begs the question of who really won the Cold War.

No, but it does call into question your powers of observation.

You are so far off the historical base it is amazing.

American thought is closely bunched around a percieved middle. The way to win any ground is to capture the middle. The extremist right has been pushed aside. The gains in the middle will offset the minor loss.

The extreme left on the other hand will destroy the Rats. If it does not prevail, it will burn the place down.

The right will be wounded but able to fight another day. The left will be crippled for a long time.

When you debate, try sticking to the truth instead making up claims that everybody that has ever put a Number 2 pencil to a Presidential ballot knows is Bravo Sierra.

You see that name "Ralph Nader" on the 2000 Election Florida ballot? Fourth down on the left hand side?

He recieved 97,488 votes from left-wingers in Florida who thought that Al Gore was not "liberal enough" for them.

Bush won Florida's Electoral Votes by only 543 popular votes. Florida's Electoral Votes were the votes that put George W. Bush in the White House.

To say that there are "only two choices" is an outright falsehood.

To say that throwing your vote away in a temper tantrum never matters is also an outright falsehood.

Instead of whining and making up lies that "only two names are allowed on U.S. ballots", maybe you should be trying to be convincing your neighbors with Obama bumper stickers that the candidate on the ballot that most reflects your views has a political philosophy that they should be voting for.

Once you convince enough American voters of that, you can actually WIN.
