Considering the after effects of Bush presidency I would say another 50yrs at least.

I would say that given the choice between evil and a lot less evil, don't cast a protest vote in close elections.

Nader voted swung the election. Bottom line. And we are all still feeling the after effects.

As did 10 other things the Democratic party had in direct control. Still, is that a reason to demean voters? 16 years later?

would it also be inherently anti-democratic to criticize people for voting for *Bush* in 2000?

"in retrospect, it was bad for X reasons that you voted as you did" is not anti-democracy, though

Retrospective crit is not. Pre-election shit-assing of other candidates demagoguery worthy of non-democracies
