2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Will Bernie be as hated by progressives as Nader [View all]The Second Stone

His other option is to work hard to get out the vote for the nominee, but that window of opportunity is closing fast, if not already closed. Man has had his ass kicked as badly as the Warriors slammed the Thunder last night.

I don't hate Nader nor will I hate Sanders. I see no reason to hate people who are progressives.

The OP blatantly ignores the fact that Nader always ran Third Party and Bernie is a Democrat.

I voted Gore in 2000, I don't hate Nader. I voted Sanders Tuesday and clearly don't hate him at all.
