Ralph Nader is going to run for president again. If you recall, Nader ran for president in 2000, and stole enough votes from Al Gore to put George Bush in the White House. Now, he wants to do it again, so we can see another 4 (at least) years of War in Iraq, corporate tax breaks, and conservative rule.

To be clear, I like Ralph Nader. If your life has ever been saved by a seat belt, you owe Ralph Nader a debt of gratitude. I also agree that there is an inherent flaw with a two party system. But there’s too much at stake in this election, and Ralph Nader isn’t going to be president. If he believes that, he’s delusional. If he doesn’t believe he will win, then he’s talking like the kind of politicians he claims to be fighting (i.e. he’s lying).

I support Barack Obama, but I will be voting against the kind of politics we’ve seen in the last 8 years, and I will be voting for a candidate that can actually win so that this change can happen, not just the idealistic vote for someone who could do a great job and stand up to the system. The promise of change is one thing, but right now, we need actual change.
