I've been out of the loop apparently, Nader bogyman is making the rounds again

24. Hadn't see those stats before..

I don't know the actual stats wrt to Greens in California, (in fact there were two different Green Parties, both in support of Nader) but a significant portion of those in Northern California (Bay Area and northward) were actively supporting Nader. However, a number of Nor Ca Greens had advocated strategic voting, what was referred to as strategically "vote swapping" with Greens in states like Texas. The strategy was to have Texas Greens vote for Gore, and California Greens vote for Nader, since California was safe for Gore. Others in the Green party voted for Gore at the top of the ticket, and voted Green Party candidates down the ballot.

The point of that was about establishing the foundation of a viable alternative to the Third Way-DLC.

The DLC sent out the Blame it on Nader brigade and have ever since effectively obfuscating all of the factors that contributed to The Coup of 2000. I strongly suspect it is on the list of job duties of party functionaries, and as you point out, completely disregarding voter attitudes, huge election fraud and all of the other factors laid bare for all to see for anyone with a set of eyes.

It is very curious as to why this old canard is being trotted out and polished now? a distraction?

I'm speculating of course, but it smells more like an intimidation tactic being employed by the HRC campaign. It certainly has a certain whiff of it.

Thanks for your time in numerating the facts and sources wrt to 2000 election coup.
