18. Nader rocks
Nader's uncompromising and I like that. He needed to say it. he should have been able to working within the DNC framework, but they didn't allow him to.

We should all recognize that had Teddy Rooveselt not started the Bull Moose Party we wouldn't have had FDR and the New Deal. We NOW must recognize that if it wasn't for Nader and the Greens the Democrats would be a party of Republican lite. In many ways they still are, which shows they still have yet to learn the lesson.

Us leftists have to stop criticizing the fringe. If we hadn't attacked Nader he would have joined us, and all his supporters would have gladly come along. What we need to be criticizing is the DLC dinos, and blame them for the Republican majority that they caused.
