...but like many others, he's overemphasizing the importance of the election. It's not a "battle for democracy." Yes, the Bush family acts like a dynasty in a monarchy. Yes, Bush is 14 points to my right economically and 13 socially on the political compass out of a maximum of 20. Yes, Bush is a terrible president. But the 2004 election is not "the final battle" as it's painted on DU, nor is it going to change much. Dean and Clark will be less overtly intimidating, that's true, but they won't be as better than Bush as leftists think they'll be.

the Bush administration already has destroyed much, and to have it continued for another four years will be disastrous.
It has times of major decision and currently is one of them. The longer you wait the more the chance of decent development of the coming decades is reduced.
100 years ago it was still possible to prevent the following shit. Once it was started, this chance was widely gone.

Personally I don't care much about it. It will not affect me too much, just because of my age. It's YOU who'll have to pay the bill.
