Joel has causal lines reversed. We will keep on getting Bush's for
president (sometimes DP Bush's, sometimes RP Bush's) until we have a
mass movement. The first steps in getting a non-Bush president in 2112
or so is to run a Nader campaign that seriously damages Kerry, at the
same time building the foundations for a larger anti-war movement in
2005 -- since it's fairly obvious that in international affairs Kerry is
the greater evil.
