Let me re-phrase my question slightly, then. Instead of "Which of those voting choices is likely to actually result in policies changes which move the United States closer to the goal?", ask yourself, "Which of those voting choices is likely to actually result in policy changes which move the United States further from these goals?"

If you genuinely believe that George Bush is no more likely to erode, say, reproductive rights or civil rights for gays than John Kerry, then, sure, there's no reason not to write in Joshua Norton. I believe you're as wrong about that prediction as you are about the facts of politics--the Senate turned Republican in the same year that the House did, 1995, and Clinton spent the last six years of his presidency fighting a holding action against the revolutionary thugs in Congress.

Sorry, that's what I get for posting late at night without fact-checking. I don't know why but for some reason I was thinking the Republicans had the House but not the Senate. I had forgotten that the Dems actually gained seats in 2000 to make the 50-50 tie.
