What about a Sanders/Nader ticket?

154. There is a feud between the two going back years. Sanders wont take his calls, respond to letters

My take is that like many of us, Sanders views Nader and his 2000 run for the white house as a destructive and vainglorious act that gave us Bush. Sanders own decision to run as a Democrat shows his quiet disdain for Nader's choice to run as an independent/3rd party.

Ralph Nader jabs Bernie Sanders in letter

In an unusual Wednesday letter, former long-shot presidential candidate Nader urged potential future long-shot presidential candidate Sanders to change the way he does business in the Senate and fulfill his “unfulfilled potential.”

“You are a Lone Ranger, unable even to form a core progressive force within the Senate,” Nader wrote the Vermont independent. “Without internal and external networking, there are no strategies to deploy, beyond speechifying, putting forward amendments that go nowhere and an occasional hearing where you incisively question witnesses.”

A Nader aide confirmed the veracity of the letter, which was sent to the senator as he informed The Nation that he is “prepared to run for president of the United States” in the form of a “very unconventional campaign.” An independent to the left of most Senate Democrats that he caucuses with, Sanders said he’s wary of running for president as an independent because it could help Republicans. In fact, he called it “the Nader dilemma.”

It sounds like Nader, a former Green Party and independent candidate for president, would like to discuss that very issue with Sanders but has been unable to reach him despite years of trying. So Nader wrote Sanders to get his attention and warn him that in Nader’s view, Sanders can have greater impact in the Senate — and perhaps beyond.
