A short call to arms.
To any Americans reading this blog:
I know us Brits are not the best people to urge you to vote for anyone but George Bush. We failed miserably in cutting Blair down to size at the last election. The Grauniad's attempt at doing something similar in Clark County, Ohio, rather backfired. I also realise how utterly hopeless the Democrats are, how little difference they genuinely offer, with some of them even to the right of liberal Republicans. Nevertheless, a vote for the Democrats today will strike a blow against just a few of these things. In some states it might be a necessary evil. A less than resounding victory for the Democrats will mean Bush will be completely unrestrained for the last two years of his presidency, free to think only of his legacy and nothing else. You might have noticed this is the current situation in Britland, and it's not a fun place to be at the moment. A vote against Bush is a vote for a better world. Honestly.
Thanks for reading.
