Yes, Chomsky supported Kerry by pretending that it was extremely important to vote for pro-war, anti-healthcare, anti-democratic rights Kerry to make sure that pro-war, anti-healthcare, anti-democratic Bush would not get elected.

Those of us who are truly on the side of the people never let up on the fact that both the Democrats and the Republicans are our oppressors.

If you want to influence these politicians, the way to do it is to work on building a movement that does not support them under any circumstances and is a poll of attraction for the working class. The likes of Kerry and Bush know full well what they are doing and will only be influenced by uncompromising opposition that causes them and their rich backers some kind of problem.

This is a first step, but ultimately all gains under such circumstances are only temporary, and workers power must be an ultimate goal.

People like "alsis38" who's done work on local ballot measures for healthcare and public power are part of the solution. The Democrats and Republicans are who give us the society where things as basic as healthcare are not guaranteed, are part of the problem. Fake leftists who secure careers by joining the Democrats are also part of the problem. The true voices of opposition that matter in America are those that are today generally regarded as being on the fringes. In the face of war, austerity, and oppression the fringes will become the majority.
