(62,325 posts)especially on this site where the facts about that election were well documented, but Nader had zero to do with the theft of that election.
Gore won the election, despite all the illegal efforts to suppress the vote for which many people should have gone to jail. Once it became apparent that all their efforts had failed, the Bush gang turned to their buddies on the Supreme Court as a last resort.
That was an unconstitutional interference in an election and Democrats never should have agreed to it.
I wish people would stop defending those five felons. Especially here.
Imo Hillary is not viable. She is popular ONLY with about half the Dem base.
The biggest voting bloc in this country right now is the Independent vote, a vote anyone from the Establishment will not get.
Bernie is going to get that all important vote.
Nothing personal, but you are out of touch with the mood of voters in this country.
You are basing your opinions on the way things WERE.
The money you believe is important to win, is exactly what may lose this election for Wall St Funded Candidates.
Things have changed radically even since the last election where signs of those changes were apparent to those of us who have kept up with the changes.
The poisonous effects of money in politics will be a major issue in this election and those who are taking it are going to have to explain how they will represent the people when they are so beholden to their donors.
Bernie doesn't have that issue, but his presence in the race is going to highlight the corrosive effects of that bribery on our system.
