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

[MadameButterfly]

213. Yes, I recall vote differences of 6-600 (depending on where in the count) and Nader pulled more than enough

to make the difference. Pulled equally from Dems and Republicans? (from a previous poster) I don't think so.

I used to admire Ralph Nader. He was smart and raised important issues. But his ego wouldn't let him step out of close battleground states when it was critical.

I can barely read his holier-than-thou of what life-risking stands he thinks all these people must take when he wouldn't safely retreat when faced with trauma to our civilization from W. To expect W. now to show morals and courage is a fantasy. He never was that guy.

The real statesmen, like Clinton and Obama, are perhaps choosing their best entry into the fray. Bill is old, remember? And I truly doubt Obama will hide for his own safety but will play the chess game brilliantly. We don't want him to sacrifice himself and find himself the first guy in jail with no movement organized to reap the pushback.
