New Who's "we"
I split the ticket. Nader for President, and Libertarians for all other offices, wherever one was running. And I voted against most incumbents at any rate. So don't blame me.

New That's why I said ' "we" ' not 'we'
Umm, did that make any sense? What I mean is, I know there is no monolithic "we" that unanimously voted for anything or responded to any particular poll. But politicians (have to?) act as though there is. Whatever wins the latest election or poll, even if it's only by 0.5% of the 38% who bothered to respond, they treat it as a mandate of "the people." So in that sense, "we" get exactly what "we" ask for.
