2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDid anyone here sit out the 2004 general election because of John Kerry's vote for the IWR,
his support of NAFTA, his historical opposition to marriage equality, or for any other reason?
If so, any regrets?

Also - Kerry voted against DOMA. Perhaps that has been forgotten, too.
Also - No one can name ONE person in DC who has investigated and exposed more government corruption than John Kerry has. Perhaps that has been forgotten, too.
Anyone regretting a vote for John Kerry wouldn't be much of a student of this nation's REAL history and how positively he effected it over the last 5 decades, would they?

(45,319 posts)by the way, historically he has supported but in that election he hedged hence the 'not much effort' in the general. I would also point out that John Edwards was a very eager co-sponsor of IWR and I opposed him as VP and then as candidate and boy was I right.
Another important fact, John Kerry and John Edwards lost to Bush and Cheney. In spite of people like me voting for them anyway, they lost. Meaning I made a compromise for them and yet they did not deliver the fucking goods, thus making my own choices moot.
I'm not fond of that sort of election. Are you?
