Do Americans who are voting Kerry vote for him for any reason besides...
7even:
horrible. I made a huge ass post and the session timed out and it was all gone.
well... start over... ::)
about nader:
em.. why should I not care, just because Nader doesnt? Am I him? No, definitely not. He's mad cause the democrats act more and more like republicans and wants to "punish" them :D
well, I dont want dems act like reps, but nevertheless dems are still better than reps to me, and kerry is much better than bush to me, so to be straight with you I dont like Nader, because he's indirectly helping Bush, which isnt a good thing in my opinion.

lol of course I dont think this. fuck small/huge. point is, there are certain states that always vote for a certain party.

The small states arent considered either way cause they always vote for republicans. New York isnt considered cause they always vote for the democrats. I have the knowledge I need, so shut up.

you say popular vote system is bad cause the small states dont get so much action then.
I say: true,
BUT: with the electoral college system many states dont get much action either (and not only some small.. also some huge like NY, CA, Texas) because they gon vote for a certain party no matter what. Still candidates go to, let's say new york, because of fund-raising. but the campaign is definitely centered on swing-states like florida, ohio and pennsylvania.
conclusion: your argument that small states dont get the attention is irrelevant, cause having your current system certain small states (and also big states) wont get much action either.
you say Nader still affects US politics.
I say: true,
BUT: he doesnt affect them directly because he can never have a majority. never.
also, popular vote is better cause every fucking vote really counts. in the electoral college system votes of republican new yorkers never matter, only the majority in each state matters and if one candidate leads by 500 votes or 20 % doesnt matter.
edit: btw .. concerning your quote where you try to prove that I am contradicting myself.. no I dont, because many traditional republican states are the ones with a low population. that's a fact. and those are the ones I talked about in the post. of course there are also little states that vote democratic, but I havent talked about those in this case.
example: you say wyoming is left out in a popular vote system because the population is nothing compated to cali's population. I say right, but in the electoral college system it's left out as well, because wyoming's electoral votes always go to the reps.
*Jamal*:
Instead of reading your post, and proving more of your points wrong, I'll just respond with this because this speaks for itself:
