By "they" I mean statements that say Nader should STFU and if you point out problems with the party they tell you to STFU and get out.

Nader is just one guy. Beat up on him if you want.

But I agree with his political positions. I feel he should not have to shut up.

Yelling at people you disagree with to just STFU is childish.

The Dems will face politcal challenges from the left because they are, each cycle, abandoning the left and moving closer to the Republican positions.

How will the Dems meet that challenge? Will they meet it with personal attacks and tell it to STFU?

Or will they solve it by reforming the politcal system to allow for run-off voting or something, so people can vote Green or whatever without fear of throwing the election to the GoP?

Or better yet, the Democrats should adopt some pieces of the Green/Left agenda to win those voters. That platform is quite popular with the American people, and it would help to win elections. That was the point of the OP right? To stand up for principles?

I think some people focus too much on Nader personally. He isn't even running for office. Jill Stein is the Green Party candidate this year. Maybe you should start digging through her trash can looking for dirt to post on the internet.
