No, not even close.

Don't tell me there's no difference between Republicans and
Democrats.

You conveniently skipped over the main thrust of
the post which was that advocating blindly voting by
party is moronic.

There's nothing "blind" about voting straight Democrat or
advocating that others do the same. The time to pursue your
pet issues and search for the "best" candidate is in the
primaries. Like it or not, in our two-party system we're
governed not by men but by parties. I don't like it, I wish
it were different, but that's reality and it's moronic to
deny it. If you vote Green or Libertarian or Independent or
Socialist or Communist you're just throwing away your franchise
in a stupid, meaningless, futile fit of pique. Election Day is
not the day to have your head up your ass, it's the day you
suck it up, go to the polls, face reality, hold your nose and
vote Democrat.
