What you call the "stupidest" comparison still makes sense to me, despite my "appallingly low intellectual level of the cacophony" you rise above.
Both Nader and "Bernie" ran against the Democratic nominee in ways that cut into Democrats' support, distanced likely Democratic voters, contrasted the Democratic nominee with a fantastical level of left-wing perfection by ECHOING rightwing talking points, weakened sharp contrasts, dampened voter turnout, easily preaching things they never had, and would never have to, deliver on.
"Bernie" did NOT readily endorse Clinton. Like Nader, he sulked publicly, let the damage fester, spoke weak conciliatory words - oh wait, no -- his speech at the convention was JUST like Hillary Clinton's speech in support of Barack Obama! He went all out to motivate his supporters to vote for her!! ...or not...
Sorry. Kucinich was a better Democrat. If you're rooting for "Bernie" to run against Democrats, you've proved my point. It's about "Bernie."
