44. Even if the wrong leadership is significantly less wrong than the alternative?
Look, everybody here ought to hate our binary political system and intensely corrupt political parties. All I'm saying is that those insignificant differences between two wrong candidates can mean a lot to people who have more to worry about than having to hold their nose for two minutes in a voting booth. I'm sure lots of Iraqi civilians would be less than sympathetic to a 2000 voter's "I won't vote for Gore, he's a corporatist!" rationale. (And yeah, in many ways the guy -was- a corporatist).
