Since the Dems and Gore supporters couldn't help themselves and started attacking Nader, Greens and Nader supporters, I am starting a diary to explain why voting for Nader made sense in 2000 and to make the case that voting for an alternative party continues to make sense in 2004.
I will make the case that Democrats are arrogant. This arogance makes Democrats feel entitled to votes from a variety of constituencies. When Democrats don't get the votes they expect, they insult the constituency rather than seriously consider that the message needs to be adjusted.
There are also a long list of important issues where the Democrats and Republicans are either the same or darn close.
Below you'll find a poll that is a two-part question. Part one is "who did you vote for in 2000?" Part two asks which of two statements you find more offensive.
