LaDuke says it way better: Because people make decisions based on fear, Al Gore takes votes away from us. You shouldn’t run a country on fear. Look around the world. The U.S. is lagging behind in its democracy. Almost every other so-called developed country has a multi-party system. Most other countries that have had monarchies have struggled to enfranchise their people. People in this country died for the right to vote, and you should honor that.
