Reply #52: Umm, but he won [View All]

I'm livid at Kerry today about the support of Israel and not endorsing better Palestian rights to their homeland.

This is politics. People vote and rarely do voters think like I do. :shrug: That doesn't mean they are not thinking clearly or that the best person did not win. It just means that voters look at different issues than I do. I think Kerry appears safe, knowledgeable, and father-like. That's not how I vote but it is a reasonable way to vote. Kerry is not my ideal candidate but I don't think I have ever voted for my ideal candidate.

He got more votes. He won. I think the primary voters saw something about his electability and leadership that those of us immersed in issues did not see. Whatever...he is our nominee. I've always believed that working with nonprofits and local politics was more effective. This is the first time I sent money to the Presidential nominee. This election is just too important to our world to not vote out * and his cronies.
