Personally, I cannot believe any intelligent progressive could even begin to construct a case not to vote Democratic in November. But I am most concerned with the 18-22 year olds who may be tempted to vote for Nader because:

(1) He's not a Democrat or a Republican.
(2) He's anti-___________
(3) He's pro- ___________

I remember how idealistic I was a 22, brand new BA in Poli-Sci and all. While I've become progressively dumber over 30 years, I do have one redeeming value. I can remember the Democratic assassinations in the 60's and the administrations of Nixon, Reagan, Bush1, Bush2 with many of the same faces. I can see the historical slide into national fascism that this country is in danger of slipping into....that's something an 18 year-old probably can't appreciate.
