(135,425 posts)You really need to just stop playing the false equivalency game.
Nancy Pelosi or "Name Your Poison(D)" isn't going around spouting the kind of shit that Nader is. Nancy Pelosi doesn't run around fucking Democrats and helping Republicans get elected. Ralph does.
Nader's goal was to suppress the vote, to peel away Dem votes, to spread disaffection and chaos. He did his job beautifully, and he made millions from it, too. He did it twice, because he discovered he LIKED the cash.
The FUNader is an outgrowth of Nader's disloyalty to progressive ideals while USING those very same ideals to become wealthy. He is a liar and a hypocrite. He is a war profiteer and a corporate toady. A Big Oil investor while playing the radical environmentalist card. A complete and total bullshit artist. If bullshit were electricity, he'd be a powerhouse.
He deserves to be told to go fuck himself...and those who continue to support that lying sack of runny crap because they "like his message" are fools. He's USING people, trying, once again, to suppress the Democratic vote.
You do realize he "donates" his money to himself? To his own little "non-profits?" He's REAL charitable so long as he can continue to exercise authority over the money. That way he can write off his "expenses" as a board member of the non-profits that he controls with a Stalinesque fist. It's a tax dodge.
And people who don't get it, don't see the full agenda of war profiteering, support for abrogation of workers' rights, elimination of any protections against China's job-busting imports--all of which Nader supports with his own investments-- because they like the pretty, meaningless words, continue to carry his fetid water.
They might as well just skip the middleman and vote for RMoney, because that's the net result.
So, once more, con brio--Fuck Ralph Nader.
