Logic Problems?

A button that says Obama or McCain says only one thing: I’m for this guy and you should be, too. It doesn’t advance democracy; it advances a party.

Even though I might agree, this is a fallacy. The writer is stating a an either/or argument. Why can't I be advancing democracy and party politics at the same time? The writer states that I can do only one thing at a time.
