Just for the record, incremental change is really hard but it is the only kind you can hope to see no matter who wins the white house. Don't forget that being president is far from being king. You don't get your way on much just by holding that office. Unless you think unbudgeted wars, the rape of the environment and the continued attack on the working class don't matter, your vote against the republican candidate and for a candidate who can win really does matter.
Unbudgeted war? I'm struggling to understand this point. A war hasn't been legally declared since WWII. When was the last time the Senate approved a budget? If you now want to invoke the subsitution of appropriations for budget then your argument still fails, the current 'wars' are still being paid for.
Raping the environment? The current administration's record concerning the environment is abysmal. Aside from syphoning money to failing solar companies, the current administration's environmental prowess is limited to accepting California's auto emissions standards by 2016.
The only attacks on the working class are the continued policies that ensure that campaign donors have the means to fill campaign coffers. Both sides, with different rhetoric, have proved they don't give a damn about the masses.
