In reply to the discussion: Why No Insurrection Charge? Ralph Nader on How Trump Could Still Be Reelected Unless DOJ Acts [View all]Uncle Joe
(65,228 posts)4. I believe Al Gore had (has) the capability to be one of our greatest Presidents.
Today I feel with democracy literally on the line, I can't afford the luxury of being embittered over past political battles.
We need all voices in support of democracy and freedom.
One final point, I believe Nader makes a valid point in regards to *rump still being able to run for national office again even if he were found guilty of the current federal charges.
I don't believe *rump would win but I agree with Ralph that groups such as the National Bar Association, etc. etc. need to be speaking out big time in defense of the Constitution virtually every day to offset *rump's high political visibility by the corporate media.

Nader make some good points of course, and you are right it is not advantageous to carry a grudge

Fuck Ralph Nader. Why does anyone with an ounce of self-respect care what he has to say?

Nader is a tree, the corporate media was and still is to a lesser degree, the forest.

The corporate media shaped the race more than other institution, why protect them?

Stop talking about defending democracy and in the same breath claim someone that legally runs

You know perfectly well that Nader's "legal" candidacy benefited only ONE person: Bush.

He's a divisive character. He needs to keep his FN mouth shut and retire into obscurity.

Are we sure that Jack Smith of the DOJ filed all charges against tRUMP and his fellow conspirators?

Ralph Nader needs to take responsibility, apologize, and then crawl back into his hole.

He's just as despicable and contemptible as Jill Stein, Nina Turner, Andrew Yang, et al*

Better to go for the easily-proven and "low-hanging-fruit" that juries can understand.

More than 80 charges, most felonies and no mug shot and he is not being coddled. B.S.

No insurrection charges, no going after those in D.C. who helped with the insurrection.

I'm fine with his priorities and approach. If your approach was a wise one or a viable one then--
