In reply to the discussion: Ralph Nader - "Stay Silent and Stay Powerless Against Trump's Tyranny" [View all]ClimateChangeisReal
(91 posts)FYI, Nader said many times that there were no differences between Al Gore and W as well as no differences between dems and repugs I watched him do it in tv interviews numerous times. In addition, Nader duped enough people with his big lie in Florida to make it possible for the Rehnquist 5 to carry out their judicial coup d'état. .Did Nader and those he duped really think that Al Gore would've appointed Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court, waged war against women's rights, ignore the threat of climate change, start a war against Iraq based on a lie like W did? You're the one who needs to read the response to this topic that included a post from someone who got duped by Nader in Florida in 2000 and has regretted his Nader vote for 25 years.
It's been common knowledge for years in Florida politics that there's a large number of dixiecrats in northern Florida who never bothered to change their registrations. You further fail to mention that the number of votes that Nader got in both Florida and New Hampshire was more than the vote difference between Al Gore and W in both of those states. There's the election right there. That's all on Nader
You also don't seem to know that Nader's 2000 campaign financial disclosure forms shows that he invests in the big corporations that he publicly claims to hate. That's called hypocrisy. You might want to google Nader's 2000 campaign disclosure forms. In addition, Nader got $5 million from the repugs to pay for his tv ad campaign that spread his big lie and that was run in the crucial battleground state of Florida. Again, Nader got 97,000 votes in Florida with his big lie. What Nader did in Florida in 2000 made the current MAGA SCOTUS possible along with the terrible Citizen's United ruling that has now exploded the amount of corporate money in elections. That's also on Nader.
You also fail to make any mention of the illegal felon purge where the cabal of Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris purged more than 50,000 legally registered mostly African-American democrats by wrongly identifying them as felons in order to reduce the number of democrats able to vote in the 2000 election. Finally you fail to note the several hundred thousand Florida votes that sit uncounted in the Florida archives because of the corrupt Rehnquist 5. Had all of the uncounted votes been counted as Florida election law required, Al Gore would've won. Again, Nader made that possible. You're the one who can't seem to handle the ugly truth and hold Nader accountable for his behavior in 2000 that made possible the current nightmare our country is now living. A few years ago, Nader publicly bragged about writing to billionaires urging them to run for President. Want to bet that he sent such a letter to Rump?
