I'll take the less painful route.

I'm no Democrat. But I put my faith in Democrats. Rather than Republicans. Yes, the lesser of evils. I think it's more likely that the Democrats and their policies will move us a tiny step in the right direction. In narrowing the gap between the rich and poor. In bringing about universal health care. In keeping us out of war. In tolerating liberals and even socialists in their party structure. In serving my perception of the common good. Of course, if there was a strong socialist party in the USA, I'd be aligned with it. But seems in America we are given only two choices. Democrats or Republicans. And if I'm forced to choose one or the other -- well, the Democrats seem a tad bit less painful. Like being given a choice over the way you want to be executed. I'll take the less painful route. --Jim Broede
