Are there any 2000 Nader voters here

47. I spent the 2000 election talking people into supporting Gore over Nader sucessfully

and even I think this is a really simplistic view that serves all sorts of actually culpable parties. Let's start with the SCOTUS 'cause it's their day today. But more importantly the entire Democratic caucus in the Senate, who refused to stand with the House Black Caucus and continue the recount. That includes Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, the entire lot of them. Not one of them would stand up. It was an infamous action.
I'd also freely blame the fuckers who continue to have shitty registration and voting processes that leave more votes on the table uncast than were cast in the first place. If a few fucking votes for a fringe candidate can derail your efforts, you have only yourself to blame.
Or we can continue this bullshit, which was never really true, and give all the blame deserved by those in great power to some marginal politician in his later dotage.

Lastly Al Gore won the election.
