(11,464 posts)Jerry is NOT 3rd party, not Ralph Nader, not outside the party
Why would you think otherwise and attempt to smear him as such?
Jerry, unlike so many(like Ralph Nader), did NOT whine, did not leave the arena, did nothing of the sort.
Jerry worked within.
He and Jesse Jackson were smeared when he ran/they ran but politics is politics.
Ralph Nader on the other hand, was financed and controlled by republicans and threw happily
the 2000 election, got mega rich(Ralph IS the 1% unless he has blown all his money) and laughed all the way to the bank
UNLIKE JERRY BROWN, Ralph Nader was 100% LAZY not wanting to do the grunt work, but instead of the grunt, likes the whine
Please don't mix them up.
And Jerry Brown is working in tandem, side by side with President Obama as the captain.
Instead of whining, why not Hillary45/Jerry Brown in 2016?
BTW, Jerry Brown's 1-800 campaign was the forerunner of President Obama's campaign in 2008 and 2012.
So please, don't mix Jerry and Ralph up.
Jerry great
Ralph traitor
