  • No, you’re still talking about horse race politics and the national binary. What I’m talking about are city councils, mayors, sheriffs, judges. The prevailing political parties don’t apply at this level.

    National politics are already a sunk cost with the amount of dark money going into them.

    What’s so funny about people like you are that you have a binary lens in which to view the world. And since all is already lost what’s the use in trying.

    Gore lost to Bush in Bush’s Brother’s state in a complicated legal battle and a spurious under count. Nader didn’t factor into it, that’s how unimportant these third party candidates are on the national level.

    So again to belabor my point. National elections are a distraction. Vote for candidates that align with your views on the local level. Vote for who you think will do the the least harm at the national level and watch as the candidates you want filter up through the political process.




  • Fuck you Nader.

    Support and fund local politicians and help already forming political groups. National level politics are a distraction. The GOP already won doing exactly this with the Tea Party.

    Nader, Jill Stein, Jimmy Dore don’t care about the American people they care about holding National office and effecting top down federal change.

    The very people Nader criticizes here have pushed to make it more difficult to make an educated vote today than in the 1930’s. Billionaires know they must kill low level democratic movements and that starts with defunding schools, twisting the narrative in the media and getting anti government politicians in city councils, on local judicial benches, and as state representatives. That is the silent violence and for all of his bluster I never see Nader taking about this.
