Right, there is hardly any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. If Kerry had been elected instead of Bush, things wouldn't be much different really. They're just two bourgeois parties with slightly different agendas for the advancement of corporate power. No matter who you vote for, you're voting for capitalism, poverty, exploitation, war, and "representative democracy". You're legitimizing a system where "freedom" is defined as the wealthiest people periodically holding a contest to see which one of them can dupe the most people into letting him think for them.
