During the 80s I went to work for clean water, Mr. Nadar's grass roots operation where we went door to door to ask for pledges of money in the better neighborhoods of Wash. DC. It was not easy... I met him in a vague manner once and saw him on the street numerous times surrounded by an entourage... He is a man who does not stop thinking a remains a watchdog.
Can we really BREAK THRU POWER, via the method he describes? Are the bureaucrats going to be responsive? What do you think? "Out Of The Illusion "

I got to see him speak at Saint Louis University while I was a grad student during the Bush/Gore debacle. Very powerful speaker. I left when he referred to them both as corporations in a suit.

Nader has done more for democracy and the American people than any of the corrupt fucks in politics on either side right now, AND all the people who claim to be about democracy that disparage Nader with their dumb debunked 3rd party voting costing the Dems elections bullshit like they are owed votes. They act like they are all about freedom and liberal or progressive policies, but then they go and support corporate ass lickers and try to suppress the vote unless voters agree with them. Fucking hypocrites, every last one of them!

I wish he had been thinking when he ran for the Presidency. Third party people always hurt the party they most align with. That was ego and stupidity. I lost all respect for him at that point. President Gore, no Iraq war, and who knows, probably no Trump, given all the weird shit it took to put him in office.

@LetzGetReal Of course it is ego. You don't run for that office,, even if you know you can't win if there isn't quite a bit of ego involved. I don't care who they are. There is definitely a difference in the two parties. They have both fucked themselves making rules to help themselves at the moment, and now they have hamstrung themselves, especially the Senate. Do you ever vote Republican?
Marz:
Stop being ignorant. More democrats voted for Bush than citizens voted for Nader in Florida. And Gore won Florida, but the election was stolen! But go ahead and blame Nader for participating in a democracy. I hold you don’t call yourself a liberal.
@Marz The numbers don't lie you ignorant douchebag. I have been liberal all my life. Just because l don't care for a self-important, ego driven person like Nader, who's biggest accomplishment was getting GM to stop building the Corvair, does not make me a conservative. Without Nadar's ridiculous run for the Presidency, the Supreme Court would never have been involved.
