Nader wants the most Progressive on the left, who barely tolerate Democrats, to join Libertarians?

56. I think you miss the point of his thesis

His book is about the fact that the oligarchs always use the divide-and-conquer strategy. In the case of progressives vis-a-vis libertarians, the PERCEIVED gap is huge, but in fact, we ought to agree strongly on many things, such as tax fairness and the idea the corporate welfare is killing our economy and hopes to maintain a viable middle class.

His main thesis is that we should reach out to others who are artificially distant from us because of the persistent efforts of the oligarchs to create that separation.

Will libertarians ever support a strong minimum wage? Maybe not. But they may support rolling back the military industrial complex. They may support reining in the corrosive effects of money in our political system. They may support eliminating some of the loopholes that allow the mega-rich to became even more rich every year.
