18. Semantics

You're just playing semantics. Your point was that ABB is a slogan that reinforces/encourages a mindset that turns people away from DK. How that *isn't* blaming it as a cause as to why he hasn't caught fire :shrug:

You think ABB is an order telling people that ideas don't matter, vote for anyone, join the herd. That's hardly the case.

The A is for Anybody. Clark, Dean, Edwards, Kerry, Kucinich, Lieberman, Sharpton. It gets people into the marketplace of ideas where all these candidates can sell their wares. It makes all the candidates viable. You're just misinterpreting it.
