The problem is that so long as the public is faced with a first past the post (plurality) voting system the Democrats have a monopoly of the anti Republican vote. Without electoral reform a vote for Nader helps Bush get elected. http://www.fairvote.org/
IMO campaigning for electoral reform from the bottom up – city, county state and eventually national level would be a far more effective way of fighting the establishment than the 9/11 truth movement.
a good summary:
