Okay, as a liberal (and therefore interested) and a Republican (and therefore nearly powerless), a suggestion to the Democrats out there: can you all stop insulting each other, please? Obama and Clinton are very similar candidates!

Seriously. Go drink some tea, play Facebook Chess, write an eleven-hundred-word breakdown of McCain's total lack of a substantive energy policy - whatever. And whenever you feel tempted to complain about any of your allies, consider this: my party gave me two warmongers and a theocrat as the only viable candidates. You guys got off frelling lucky.

That's all.

One: Granted.

Two: Granted, but their ideals are closer to your own. Also, see One.

Three: How is that relevant? You are a member of the modern Republican party, not the old one. Modern politics are modern.

Granted on all points. Nevertheless, I would prefer to try the experiment.

(Besides, I will not merely be voting in the Presidental election - I will have the opportunity to support reasonable candidates in primaries as well.)

Well, sure. But it seems that you are more involved than merely experimenting.

[That's a good point, actually.]
