Ralph Nader - "Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump's Tyranny"

[Cirsium]

140. Not helpul or relevant

It was a fluke that the election was so close and that it allegedly "came down to" Florida.

I think the Nader campaign reflected a dissatisfaction with the party, he didn't cause it.

But in any case, what good does bashing Nader do now? It is useful for trashing out all of the progressives in the party, I guess. The same people who are most opposed to the progressives are also the most opposed to Nader. That is why I say that Nader/2000 is a red herring, it is a pretext for bashing progressives.

Now according to some posters we are to believe that the Iraq war was Nader's fault. I guess we will have to ignore the 81 Democrats who voted for it in the House and the 29 Democrats who voted for it in the Senate.

The Senators:

Baucus, Bayh, Biden, Breaux, Cantwell, Carnahan, Carper, Cleland, Clinton, Daschle (D-SD), Dodd, Dorgan, Edwards, Feinstein, Harkin, Hollings, Johnson, Kerry, Kohl, Landrieu, Lieberman, Lincoln, Miller, Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Reid, Rockefeller, Schumer, and Torricelli.
