The Democratic party discourages anyone with more left-wing leaning ideas to vote for any left wing sided party other then thier own. (I.E. The Green Party). Instead of blaming thier own faults and mistakes for why they lost the 2000 election they go and blame Ralph Nader. Nader is/was a spokesman for the Green Party and he's been the driving force in trying to make the Green Party a genuine alternative to voting Democrate or Republican. I think the Democratic party will continue to make mistakes, for one they need to win southern states, and no Democratic president from the North (I.E. Kerry) has ever won an election. Another thing I found rather silly is that every Democrate that runs has to be a moderate liberal, they say the same thing about Republicans having to be a moderate conserative but I don't think GWB is a moderate conservative. The Democrates are too focused on trying to steal votes from the Republican party that they don't focus on liberal voters. They are weak on any liberal ideas, (gay rights in particular). So they turn thier back on the ones who should be supporting them, and they can't steal any voters away from the Republican party.
