Ralph Nader: Bernie Sanders' Opposition to Third Parties is Why His Movement is in Disarray

59. "Cranky gripes?" Oh, yes.

Really to the mansion, though? I haven't paid enough attention to notice. If he did become seduced by comforts and beauty, this is the age for it. Old bones, too many hours spent looking out a few windows thinking of what he would do if he were only Bernie and still "just" 75.

I have no trouble believing that an extremist like Nader honestly rejected consumerism, though. His good side is that he lived his beliefs for a very long time, his bad side that he lived his beliefs for a very long time.

Like in this election, he's too righteous and rigid to be able to change when conditions require. Trump's not just a "condition," but an emergency condition. Extremists are called extremists for a reason. They're also dysfunctional; like Trump, but in different ways.
