Cmon democrats, you're supposed to be the lesser evil...

This isn't about kids and it isn't about abortion it's about limiting people's access to unmediated information. The Democrats have just as much to lose as the Republicans if a third party which is a lesser evil than either emerges. Or, seeing as this is America we're talking about, greater evil.

Whatever. They don't want people being able to just organise themselves as they please online.

If you can only vote for one option then the better a 3rd party does the more it hurts the main party closest to it. I would expect Democrats and Republicans to be funding 3rd parties in the hopes of improving their chances of getting the most votes.

Was there ever proof that the Republicans donated to Nader in the 2000 election? Seems they did just about everything they could to deny the popular vote...

I'm not American so I wouldn't know. Do you have 2 votes, 1 for president and 1 for insert noun here?
