(62,270 posts)I can't say my Nader gambit acquiescence is on the mark. Perhaps I give him too much credit in my alternate scenario. Just sucks he fought in swing states when if he cared about the Green Party he should've focused on states that would've been more friendly. It just, from an emotional perspective, feels like he ruined the possibility for a good third party I'd be more amiable to.
Thanks for taking the time to write out your alternate scenario, it makes me think about my earlier position. It never really occurred to me he should have ran as a Democrat. If he could've pulled those numbers as a Democrat I think I'd concede the point. Not sure on that, though, so I am still on the fence with this speculation. Still, good points, and nice alternate history speculation to think about.
