We on Daily Kos have seen some of us argue with Nader supporters for voting for him in 2000 and possibly supporting this time around. During some of these arguments, a poster commented that those who question why a person could vote for Nader or Dean as write in are actually influencing them to vote that way because of their arrogrance.

So this leads me to a question I would like to discuss with you all: Does another Kossack's opinions, behavior and diaries for or against a certain candidate actually influence your vote?

I actually fear that it does and it shouldn't because, as we have seen with JMS' demographic diaries, we here on Daily Kos, whether we are Kerriacs, Deaniacs, Naderites or Bush supporters, are not at all representative of any of those campaigns, nor of the Democratic Party or America in general.

I, for one, have supported a wide variety of candidates throughout this primary season and I am happy with Kerry as our nominee. I want the party and all of its members or sympathizers to be unified this election season. And it worries me that some overzealous Kerry supporters or those who are anti-Nader here on Daily Kos may actually sway your vote.

And before I am flamed by my other Kerry supporters who I have just accused of being overzealous, trust me, I know that you have counterparts on the Nader side who constantly attack the Democratic Party as being nothing more than Diet Coke to Bush's Classic Coke.
