As Republicans surge, Ralph Nader turn the screws on Democrats (VIDEO)

[egbertowillies]

It gives me no pleasure in saying I told you so for absent a blue wave, it is clear that a resurgent Republican Party will materially harm the personal economies of most Americans. But this wound is self-inflicted, and there is not much time to fix. Ralph Nader hits the nail on the head. Democrats better heed the warning. We must no keep our heads in the sand lest we will suffer defeat.

Anyway, fuck Nader and if there isnt a Blue Wave none of this will matter, we will be a Nazi state.

16. Thank you MineralMan

Fun fact: I've never been to this person's website.

[MineralMan]

17. I have. Once.

30. my antivirus wont let me go to his / her website .

[MineralMan]

31. Well, that's a clue, I think.

Some ad companies are sneaky. They look for sites that aren't paying attention, and post ads that contain malware on those sites. That's probably what your anti-virus software detected.

[stonecutter357]

32. just tried again and mcafee went crazy .

[MineralMan]

33. I never click on such click-bait sites.

Never. I'm protected, but it's a hassle dealing with malware-bearing ads.

2. Nader

Can drop dead.

[alwaysinasnit]

4. Thanks for posting

Thanks for sounding the alarm. I am afraid that the current Democratic leadership is still "business as usual" and not listening to those on the ground.

[spanone]

20. ...or nader is full of shit.

[CanSocDem]

5. Sadly...

...Trump is what Nader was warning you about decades ago and now that he has been proven right, many don't want to listen.

8. Nader help bring about the conditions that lead to Trump

in the first place by helping Bush steal the election in 2000.

[CanSocDem]

12. No, he didn't.

The mold for a 'puppet president' was cast long before Bush. Nader was warning you this would happen probably before you were born. It is why he created Public Citizen....to protect idiotic Americans from voting for the corporations and against their own interests.

[standingtall]

14. Those things can only be fixed by winnig elections

Nader cost us Florida in 2000. Which lead to Bush appointing John Roberts to the supreme court. Which got us citizens united which got us much more dark money in politics. Which helped Russians interfere in our election which got us Trump. So yes Nader helped to create the conditions that gave us Trump.

[CanSocDem]

15. You're grasping.......(eom)

[genxlib]

25. I stand with StandingTall

To hell with that guy.

Once upon a time he served a purpose but after a while he started doing more harm than good.

[Nitram]

9. No, Nader was not warning us of Trump. He was claiming that both parties were equally corrupt and

indebted to corporations. False equivalency up the wazoo, IMO. If Gore had won, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq, we wouldn't have opened Gitmo, we wouldn't have engaged in torture. We might have headed off the 9/11 attack, because Clinton's administration was clearly tuned to the danger of bin Laden. Thanks for nothing, Ralph.

[NCTraveler]

19. Nader helped create the environment that gave us Trump.

There is simply no valuable argument to the contrary.

But some here will go all go-go over this poster. The same poster who claimed Trump was going to bring us single payer. Willie was big on the normalizing Trump train early.

[OrlandoDem1]

6. When the 3rd party includes the likes of Jill Stein, we can and will point the finger. Nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Fuck Ralph Nader.

[stevenleser]

10. There is nothing Ralph Nader could say that is of interest to me or most Democrats. nt

[demigoddess]

11. Nader always jumps in when it will help the republicans. I wonder why????????

gee whiz.

[MineralMan]

18. I thought we supported Democrats on DU...

When did that rule change?

[workinclasszero]

21. Fuck Ralph Nader!!!

He gave us Shitler and the traitor fascist republican party!

22. Troll

Democrats, be careful, Trump may beat you to single-payer Medicare for all

Democrats should not be playing defense now. A defensive stance does not give the impression to constituents that one's fighting for them. With the demise of Trumpcare and Obamacare under stress in many parts of the country, this is the time for Democrats to come out in full support of a transition to single-payer Medicare for all.

Donald Trump is an out of the box politicians who may surprise Democrats and pull victory out of the defeat of the current iteration of Trumpcare. It would not be surprising if Trump made the following calculus. Obamacare is expensive. Republicans have failed to come up with a viable plan. I (Trump) will now send to Congress my single-payer Medicare for all scheme. Do not for one moment believe this is an impossibility.

First, single-payer Medicare for all is polling very well. President Trump needs to boost his overall poll numbers. Donald Trump voters have a tendency to twist themselves into pretzels to justify whatever change in position he presents. His core voters will be with him.

In an attempt to get a win at any cost Trump recently claimed that single-payer would bankrupt the country. But he has been all over the place on single-payer. As recent as May, he pointed out to the Australian Prime Minister that his single payer health care system was better than America's health care system.

Can be found at the same site linked in the op. Not going to put up another link to the site. Written by the op. He was in early on the crazy Trump might do great things, Democrats are in trouble.

23. "It gives me no pleasure in saying I told you so"

surreeee

Hit and run post. If you're going to post this shit have the balls to back it up.

[grantcart]

24. You seriously don't understand Nader's long term animus against Democrats

How he lied about his election strategy and duped people into believing that he was only campaigning to get a message out and not interested in changing the outcome.

You don't have a clear understanding that group cohesion is essential in battling powerful nihilistic forces and modern electoral history.

There are other sites that cater to your style of self promotion. You obviously aren't interested in dialogue as you never contribute to any other discussion and just post here to get links to your ad generating site.

I almost never use ignore but you really have earned it.

[RandySF]

26. This is no surge.

Polls ebb and flow. Take your propaganda elsewhere.

[stonecutter357]

27. wow you bash the Democratic party every day , why is that ?

[RandySF]

28. This is spam

To generate clicks to your own site.
