Note how Nader's total plummeted from 2000 to 2004 (down by about three-fourths). Most Nader voters, including his running mate, realized (partly by looking at the photo you present) that they had made a mistake.

By contrast, Nader himself and a minority of his supporters (including some right here on DU) continue with the tired old excuses.

Winona LaDuke has addressed a specific issue on which she's knowledgeable and explained why Sanders is better on that issue. That's a valuable contribution to the debate.
