That is the problem. Either way he does not have nearly enough supporters to ever put him in office. American citizens only see Democrat and Republican, they are blind to independent. I wish this was not the case, but unfortunately it is, and it is not going to change anytime soon. Therefore, a vote for Nader is wasted because he does not stand a chance in hell. Why let a man who has done nothing positive for this country have another 4 years to destroy it just because you think you are being heard and standing up for your beliefs. Although I respect nothing more than that normally; in this case, Bushie is counting on the 3% 3rd party voters to keep him in office, and will use that against you as well once he is in office.

kerry doesn't represent my interests, now that'd be a shame to vote for someone who doesn't represent me.

If you ONLY could choose between the two, which would it be? If your answer is Kerry, than read what I said above.

if the people vote bush in, they get what they deserve.

Yes, they do get what they deserve, but the 50% of us who did not vote him in, will get the same negative treatment as them.

my vote isn't going to alter the larger picture of california's voting trends. I'm even tempted to suggest that should bush win the popular vote, the EC might go ahead and award them to kerry anyway--because they can.

Cant argue with that, look at the last election. But at the same time, we cant go on assumptions.
