...of asking "why" such a large part of the electorate chooses not to particpate in the electoral process. It's just so much easier to point fingers at third party voters. So in your conspiracy ridden world, the far left progressives who decided they would actually bother voting for a candidate in 2000, were more at fault that Gore lost than perhaps democrats in his own party opting out of voting at all.
Frankly, I'm not surprised at the responses...it's so much easier than actually attracting the non-voting public. Of course we had a candidate, Howard Dean, that was attracting non-voters to participate. However, the status quo democrats decided that what they really needed was a "strategic" candidate, not one with real convictions. Fine...that was your choice. I get to vote in the primary soon too. Understand that some of us are still very upset with what happened to the Dean candidacy.
