So If It's Not The Democrats and It's Not the Republicans...

Michael Moore thinks the Republicans were a bunch of corrupt politicians who only made laws and manuevered in ways that would benefit themselves. He also accuses Democrats of being "soft" and not doing enough to counter the Republicans. Basically, Moore is unhappy with everything that both major political parties... so who does he actually like? Well actually, he has a bit of a man crush on Ralph Nader. He holds Nader at a pretty high standard, showing him not to be a corporate sell-out and the only candidate in recent memory who has a pretty clean record. He recommends that readers vote for Nader not so that he'll actually become president (because he'll NEVER get enough votes) but so that the Democrats realize that a sizable portion of their voting base is unhappy with the way they've been combatting (or more specifically, NOT combatting) the Republican agenda.

It's interesting because I know that in 2008 Michael Moore and Ralph Nader had a bit of a falling out. This book was written in 2000 so none of that is here. But it's interesting to note that at this point, Moore worshipped Nader as the one "clean" candidate in a mess of politicians who were too "politician-y"
